I setup a dual-boot machine in my 7100, because the most recent HD in it came with three partitions. 7.6.1 was installed on one and the other two were blank. I put 8.5 on another one and upgraded to 8.6 yesterday.
I booted into 7.6.1 for the first time in about a week today (meaning after I upgraded to 8.6; I don't know if that is relevant - and I probably updated HD drivers now that I think of it but I also don't know if that's relevant).
The 7.6.1 partition boots normally up to the splash screen. Then either an error or interrupt prompt comes up (I assume error), but it's just the white box and black inset outline - no text or options (at least not that are visible).
I'm booting into an Installer now to re-bless the 8.6 partition but how do I fix the 7.6.1 partition? There's nothing on it - the third partition is non-system software - so I don't care about destroying it. But will reinstalling actually solve the issue?
[Yes, 8.6 still works fine... drivers issue?]
