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.

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.
