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).

Thanks
Ted
