Hi all, I just upgraded my system and I'm trying to install Mandrake 7.2 on a new hard drive but the installer keeps freezing. The screen freezes when it says "Starting... Please Wait". My setup is: Mandrake 7.2 ASUS A7V133A motherboard AMD 1GHz T-Bird (133 bus) Western Digital 30gig HD This motherboard has a separate ATA100 bus which I attempted to install on using the instructions found at: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/hardware/hbits5.html When that didn't work, I moved the disk to the standard IDE bus, but the freeze still happens. I've tried the following with no change: - removing my sound and network card - booting from floppy - booting from CD - running in the different modes (expert, text, rescue, etc) Any thoughts? Has anyone seen a problem like this? I can run the RedHat 6.2 and 7.0 installers and they work fine (I'd really prefer to use Mandrake though).
