We have spent the past couple of days working on coming up from
unattended 3.2 to the current 4.1a.  I thought I would share some of our
failures:

- 4.1a (dos) boot disk fails on a Dell Inspiron 5150.  The B44 nic
driver loads fine, but when it gets to NETBIND, it hangs.  This seems to
be a memory management issue.  If we use a much older emm386 it gets
past this spot but fails later.  We have tried all kinds of combinations
of memory management stuff.
- 4.1a (linux) boot disk fails on the Dell Inspiron 5150, says it can't
find the hard disk.
- 3.2 (dos) boot disk is successful on Dell Inspiron 5150 but only with
an updated format.exe.
- 4.1a (linux) boot disk fails in a Vmware (workstation 4.5.1) virtual
machine when it starts DOSemu?  It hangs after "DPMI-Server Version 0.9
installed".  Screenshot available.

  So, we have just kind of back ported some of the 4.1a stuff to our 3.2
that works well...  I'll only have the Dell Inspiron laptops available
for testing for another few days if anybody has any ideas of things to
try.  It seems like the mail list traffic has significantly dropped off
in the last 6-9 months :(.
