Wayne,
Try looking for Kernel 2.2.16-10. I found it by way of the Linux
Hardware Database. The version referred to there is in the SuSE
7.0 ftp site (I'm running SuSE, not Mandrake). When I tried the
boot image given there my installer hung, probably because the
DVD drive and boot HD (on the regular IDE dontroller) got
bollixed up somehow trying to run at EIDE66. The stock boot disk worked
better, then I installed the new Kernel rpm and the UDMA 100
controller and disks work fine. I did try installing Makdrake 7
on this machine, but that was when I had some bad RAM
and nothing worked right, so I can't really compare the distros
on this issue. With the 2.2.16-10 installed and UDMA enabled,
and a 1GHx Athlon, it is quick, very, very quick.
