Redhat 7.1 installed with no problems. After doing some searching on deja, I have determined that mandrake won't work with a promise controller and a large western digital harddrive. Doesn't make much since. When I boot, mandrake sees the drive and the install goes fine up to the point where I partition and format, when mandrake tries to mount the drive I get an error about device not found, unable to mount. Several people on deja said that mandrake changes the name or address or something and said to specificaly tell the kernel the address of the device which I did (ide2=0x9400,0x9802) and it still doesn't work. I am happpy that I have redhat on there, but I really like mandrake better. Using alternate kernels is not an option since I can't get mandrake on the drive in the first place.
