Thank you for clarifying whether it was the install or the boot.

Perhaps we can determine if it is the MBR or if it's Syslinux that's 
causing the problem.  If you leave the Syslinux MBR intact but use some 
other boot code on the partition's boot sector (such as DOS or Windows), 
does the red screen still occur?  If it does, then the Syslinux MBR 
could be the problem.  If it doesn't, then it could be Syslinux that's 
causing the problem.

If you cannot perform this test because you do not have DOS or Windows 
involved, please let us know.  It's possible that someone can come up 
with a diagnostic partition boot sector for you, if there isn't one already.

As far as understanding the red screen's output, I think we'd really 
need an _exact_ version access to the corresponding files in the build 
tree.  If you are using one of the downloads, then please specify 
exactly which one (the download link).

However, if you are certain that the red screen has the _exact_ same 
output regardless of 4.06 or 5.00, then perhaps we'll find that the MBR 
is the problem.  Or not.
