Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my Micron Powerdigm XSU from 3.2-RELEASE to 4.2-RELEASE by booting off the 4.2 CD, but I'm having problems. Here's the hardware: Preston - Dual Pentium II ATX Motherboard Adaptec 2940UW PCI/SCSI card Plextor 12/20x CDROM drive EIDE controller on the motherboard with no devices attached Creative Labs AWE64 sound card Diamond Fire GL 1000 (Permedia 2) video card All but the sound card work fine under 3.2, but when I go to upgrade to 4.2 (by booting off the 4.2 CD), I never get past kernel selection. When I get to the screen asking to configure the kernel, no matter what I do (custom configure, or skip configuration), once I get past that screen, the probing starts, takes a while, then the system just resets (though in a funky way -- it doesn't reboot, but I lose video signal as though I had pushed the reset button). Stranger still, I can't power off the system once its in this state, but the reset button works! (as does removing the power cord) Does anyone have any ideas on why this may be happenning? I did a search in the archives and didn't really see anything specific to this. I also had a look at GNATS and saw BudIDs kern/23535 and misc/23873 that seemd similar, but these are still open. I don't know how to gather more data, especially since the system resets the way it does. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
