Hi all,
This may be a little old BUT:
I myself have a Abit nf7s mainboard and have been using Mandrake linux for some time now (on my old PC).
I installed mandrake 9.2 on my Abit nf7s PC which went ok. However, when I try to copy large files (>200Mb) around it seems to crash completely with nothing except the HDD led glowing and no HDD activity - the screen stays frozen. I am using a Maxtor HDD. I should also mention that when a reset my machine it usually freezes on the HDD integrity check after a bad shutdown in the same way as I stated above.
I have just tried to unstall Mandrake 10 community (2.6 kernel woohoo!) which just does the same crashing during the installer!!
Hope someone can shed light on the subject!
By the way Im sure it has something to do with the disk activity incase anyone is curious
Regards,
joe
