detz: i know what your prob is , its the doslist mounter, i guess u have mixed old and new in it, infact you should just remove such.
and when devs: #? are started only the ones u really want should be there (ie if u have any decivces u dont use or rarely use , put them in storage under the dir it should , also be sure that storage stuff aint started aswell in the boot (i have seen that on many setups

its not a big problem at all, if you dont know where and what, well i would give you 1 easy solution, install 3.9 and remove your old stuff or have it on another partision.
anyway... yes i am looking forward to using my new machine also but the problem you mention aint a hard nut to remove/fix!..
