Doh, I just had an upgrade crap out on me too.  Mandrake 7.1 to 7.2.  My
SCSI cdrom seems to have died a horrible death after half of the packages
were installed.  I just bought a new IDE cdrom to replace it.  Hopefully the
upgrade will still work.

FYI, Tran Micro has 256MB PC133 Micron SDIMM's for $169, and 128MB for $79.

Well, it is working now. The story is that something very bad happened to
my computer while I was trying to get Xfree-4.0 to run. The computer
crashed and ever since it would hang on various init scripts. I could get
into single mode, but it would hand on some things in init 2. If I took
them out I could get to init 2 but I couldn't get into multiuser mode. I
did a ping at one point and it worked, but I couldn't stop it with
contorl-c or z. I had to reboot, only the reboot scrits from
control-alt-delete failed, I had to but power. Long story short, I did a
fresh install of mandrake 7.2 (not ungrade) (so nice to have a separate
/home partition) and now the nkfs.o module will load, whereas before it
wouldn't (I that it was a compile problem, but maybe it was something
else). Anyway, this has fixed my sendmail problems.

The lesson, I guess is that sometimes upgrades don't work too well.

Thanks for all the help,

Ben
