The process started on the sourceforge site, but as I had stated. It just stops.

My Project includes a number of kernels (8) from 3.0.101 thru 3.13.6 the 
default, and 3.14-rc6. Have tried booting from CDs and usb. Using version of 
Syslinux 4.06, 5.10, and 6.02/3. Have tried with failsafe options. Have tried 
Debug option, nosmp, etc. Have tried it without a disk installed, and it still 
freezes. Placed the disk in a different system, and it loads fine, and make the 
image. 

Strangely, the machine does boot with an Pmagic linux disk, but it is an i486 
version, and doesn't include the nic. 

Was mainly looking to see if someone had some experience with this 
machine, and might have figured out a setting or option. 

Generally have about 1000 downloads per week of the project, and usually 
have very few issues, and generally, can quickly come up with a solution, but 
this one is not going well. 

User is a Windows person, so it is even more of an issue, and have sent an 
request to the vendor, but expect will get a response that machine is only 
listed as Windows 7 or 8... 

Thanks fro the Time.
