Hi Codrut,

I had the same problem this weekend.
After serveral reinstalls off Linux it looked like it had to do with some missing RPMS.

I have yet to figure out which ones.

I finally installed Mandrake 7.1 as a Server with the automatic option. After this the install went correctly.

Hope this helps

Good Luck

Louis
