I have a system that has the beta 32-bit/win31 and the GA on separately
bootable partitions (love that bootmanager).  I updated the GA with the
fixes that were available (comm drivers, that kind of stuff) until I got
the beta stuff.  I recently got the servpak and did the upgrade.  It
went as expected with no problems except that one of my disks had a bad
spot causing a VDPX.SYS (I think) file to be clobbered.  I got a new
disk and put that file in manually with no great trouble.  When I tried
to boot the system, it went along loading the various stuff in
config.sys (sytos drivers, cdrom driver, set the comm port, etc) but
when it tried to go into the graphics mode it hangs like crazy.  I have
to hardware reset the system to get going again.  Has anyone had this
problem before.  I have an S3 based card (Orchid f1280) but it did ask
for the driver disk (disk 1 of 2).  Any pointers will be appreciated.
