It just keeps rebooting. I thought it might be the RAM or hardware, but I tried putting other RAM and tried the same install on different old machines. I even tried a different disk, one that I know worked for sure. Same thing. Than I just loaded 4.8 for the heck of it, and it worked. I'm confused. Now, do I want to try to upgrade to 4.9 from 4.8 or just leave 4.8?
