Mandrake 8.1 up and running

[Warren Togami]

This may be related to your Promise Ultra66 card.  I'm trying Mandrake 8.1
tonight on a Promise FastTrak100 RAID card, so I'll let you know if it is
broken here too.  You may want to report that broken behavior.  Please check
Mandrake's Bugzilla for duplicates, then submit a detailed bug report if it
is not already there.

> I got Mandrake 8.1 up and running last night. The install is the best yet.
It even detected my Matrox G450 dual head card and offered to configure each
head and recognized my Western Digita 80GB harddrive on a promise ATA
ultra66 controller (had a problem with this in beta releases of Mandrake
8.1).  But I did have some problems.  I couldn't get any of the journaling
file systems to work.  XFS and Reiser both installed great, but durring boot
they try to uncompress a ramdisk image forever (I let both try and
uncompress for a couple hours and they never finished).  EXT3 gave an error
on boot about unable to FSCK mounted root partition and refused to boot.
The standard EXT2 works fine though.  I am doing some research into why the
journaling file systems didn't work and will report back anything I find.
Everything else about the install went perfect.
