Anyone on Mandriva 2007?

Hi all, 

I'm having some problem with upgrading my Precision 410 to
Mandriva 2007, it's currently running 2006 quite happily. 

The PC has had the onboard SCSI disabled, and I've got a Silicon
Image ATA/133 card in there instead, with everything hanging off
that. 

I didn't expect to be able to boot from the DVD, but at the
moment all three of the relevant floppy-based boot images are
failing, that's the network boot, CD ROM and CD ROM changer. All
of them load vmlinuz OK, but just hang loading the second
image-specific file. I would guess that they're objecting to some
piece of hardware (I've tried multiple downloads and multiple
boot floppies) but I'm at a bit of a loss to guess what's going
on. 

Anyone got any ideas? 

Thanks, 

Brian.
