I have just installed Mandrake 10OE for the millionth time and finally decided to seek some help. Each time following a fresh installation, the boot hangs just after "Activating Swap Partition [OK]". I just cant figure out what the problem could be. Long Googling sessions and such have turned up no subsequent fixes for my problem.
