I know a few machines I have couldn't go past 5.3 without locking during boot. Tried posting to the list and got silence, so I have to keep those machines at 5.3 . So will have to schedule time to see if I can boot some recent install CD's on the 4.10-STABLE server and see if it works....... My post was worth a try to get other than the "isn't supported" reply.
