Mandrake install on SCSI system

<< < (2/2)

voidmain:
I don't know man... maybe try a different distro, like RedHat or SuSe.  I have had problems like that with Mandrake on other machines so.. And I assume you have no trouble installing Win* on this system?  If you have trouble with both Win* and Mandrake then you've got a problem with your hardware setup.

Druid:
I tried turning off Plug n Pray, still no change.
I will try another distro - Red Hat, maybe?  Win98SE and Win2k both install and run fine so I know it's not a hardware problem.
Thanks again for your efforts.

Druid:
Well, it seems like my adaptec 1542 was the problem after all.  I just replaced the scsi card with an adaptec 2940.  It booted the Mandrake install disk from the SCSI CDRom and installed with almost no problems.  I am typing this using Konqueror and Mandrake 8.1, connected to the net using a cable modem connected to my W2K box.

Right then, I'm off to explore this new OS.

voidmain:
Way to go Druid.  Sorry I wasn't much help other than saying "I've used a 1542 before with no trouble".
