Complete CLEAN-reinstall of 4.3-Release is sucessful. Reboot of system results in system hanging after system check, like it can't find the hard-drive. but reinstallation of 3.5.1-RELEASE works fine. I suspect that I need to configure the new bootloader in some fashion to mimic the 3.X behavior? Solutions tried: relabel hard-drive and tried bootloader no bootloader-just mbr Dedicated and Other-OS compatible partition entries. I have disabled all the obvious extraneous devices not used including all the mouse, serial and printer ports, thinking there might be a device conflict. Hardware: Gateway 486-66 16Mb RAM, CDROM,500 Mb HD with integrated IDE controller, mach video card, (2) 3c509, built-in serial(2) parallel (1) Any insight would be useful.
