Mandrake 9.0 Installation freezes at Hard Drive detection

All,

 

I'm attempting to install Mandrake 9.0 from CD onto a system with a Symbios 53c1010-33 Ultra3 SCSI controller. The installation locks up after choosing install class ("Recommended"/"Expert", "Install", "Upgrade", etc. It doesn't matter which I choose, the result is the same every time). There are three SCSI devices in the system. The hard drive, a Plextor CD-R, and a Toshiba CD-ROM.

 

It freezes at the message...

 

"Installing driver for disk/scsi|hardware_raid card imm"

 

I've looked everywhere I can think of but have been unable to find any help for this. There is a note on the Mandrake site about "Raid on / fails after boot", but it sounds like this is not the same issue. As they are saying the cause is the installer mangling the /etc/raidtab and my install is completely fresh. There's no /etc, much less an /etc/raidtab to be mangled.

 

Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Cambion
