I've had that problem too. If the other advice here doesn't help, boot in failsafe mode, then run the following commands: chkconfig --del harddrake reboot This will disable the boot check for new hardware. The disadvantage of course is that if you then add some new hardware, Mandrake will not see it. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
