If the 9.1 CDs don't boot on some hardware, we need to fix it before the release. The PCI probing code has been overhauled between 9.0 and 9.1 -- it would be very nice to see what 9.1 did. RC1 CDs are now available or you could try a source upgrade of the kernel (or just copying the kernel off the CD). -Nathan
