Hey all, stupid mandrake question time

[dedpixhl]

Hey, d/led the Mandrake 8 isos and want to give it a shot to see if it's worth anything. I'm running into some problems though post-installation. When I reboot to boot into mandrake after install, I get a slew of red errors about something (the partition, im guessing) not being mounted. It then halts unless I Ctl+C to advance along, yet again with more mounting errors. I've reinstalled it about 4 times so far, and still get the same result. I have a dual boot sys, Win98 and Linux, with the partitions configured thru PartitionMagic as being in the order of FAT32, Linux Swap, Linux Ext2. And of course, I place the mounting point on the Ext2 partition during install time. Could this be the root (no pun intended) of my problem, the order of the partitions? Should I have the Ext2 before the Swap? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

The order of the partitions won't matter, I often have the swap first since the first part of the hard drive is faster.
I think the errors should be in /var/log/dmesg, if you posted the relevant portion then it might help others in helping you.
