Mandrake 8.1 install help

[shawnsterdotnet]

I am trying to install Mandrake 8.1 on a computer with a SCSI/IDE combination. I have a 4GB IBM SCSI Harddrive w/an Adaptec 2940UW/HP SCSI Adapter. I am also using an IDE CDROM drive. While I am installing it starts a loop of crap that does absolutely nothing in the end. Can anyone give me suggestions on fixes for this problem?
