It is also possible that this is all a combination of other stuff. When I first loaded up Mandrake, it was a brand new install after I just purchased my new system with the Dragon KT400 Ultra Platinum MB installed. First I had major problems because I had a 128MB video card along with 1024MB of RAM. Mandrake 9.1 has major problems trying to boot from the boot disk if you have more than 1024 of RAM and a video card with more than 32 mb of memory. Couple those problems with the APIC issues and ACPI as well and simply getting a stable install was a major undertaking for me. At this point, with what I know now, I could probably do a much better install and perhaps get the RAID stuff working (although I am pretty sure that 9.1 does have problems with hpt372, at least, I am not the only one having those problems according to the forums), but I would have to go back and reinstall all the software and at this point it is simply not worth the effort. Perhaps when 9.2 comes out. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
