I am trying to install 9.1 onto a dual CPU Abit BP6 machine. It has been modified with dual P3/800 CPU's and has W2k installed on it running in 2 CPU mode.
On installation of Mandrake 9.1 Beta and 9.1 proper the install will hang at various points. On inspection it appears that the Drakx installer is passing two messages as it installs the packages. After each block of 8 rpm packages installed a message comes up saying: transactions done, now trying to close still opened fd. At the point where the install stops and hangs I have seen the message Drakx should not have to clean the packages shit. Killing 1117: /usr/lib/gconfd -2 4 Now this is obviously an install issue. I have tried to make allowance for the motherboard and its limitations by using F1 and linux ide=nodma noapic apm=power_off mem=640M As I said W2k installed no problems and is verified to run in dual cpu mode by both HAL messages and process monitoring. Interestingly Mandrake 9 will install no problems. Any ideas? Matt
