During the 5.3 install I created the boot manager. After the basic install I was able to boot 5.3 but did not test boot win98. I then did a 5.3 kernel recompile and booted the kernel. I then tried to boot win98 by pressing F1 key and the boot process just hangs. Rebooting and pressing F2 key for 5.3 also now hangs. Question = Is there any way to fix this problem without killing the win98 partition? I was thinking of installing this weeks 5.3 beta2 to see if that would correct the problem. Any suggestions sure would help. Thanks
