Done it and redone it many many times.
Anyway I solved the problem installing the 7.2 first and upgrading it with
the 8.0 and now seems to work fine.
The other times I installed th 8.0 from scratch, this time I upgraded it.
Thanks to all for the help.

I'm using Mandrake 8.0 with Verizon ADSL and sometimes have to do that
to get it to work when I reboot, but not allot.
Hope that helps..
