Update: After I posted last, 4.1 was working fine just the resolution was VGA. So last night I tried to boot it up and it did the same thing as it did when i started the thread and went to black with no disk activity. So I rebooted with the reset button and the same thing. So I walked away from it for a few minutes and when I came back 4.1 Workbench was on the screen.
I have ordered a Radeon 9200 256M and 1G of ram for it. We will see how that goes once installed.
