Pity really because Grub is considerably slower to boot than isolinux on PC's that it works on.
Isolinux 3.x (all versions) work great on my old notebook, yet for some reason I have trouble booting TC after version 4.1 with it. I don't think there is any reason for this, right? Am really looking for tc4.4 to run on older equipment but the isolinux issue makes this a non starter.

UPDATE: Have successfully created a new ISO blending CorePlus4.4rc3 and isolinux 3.82 with a rewrite of the boot menu structure which now boots perfectly on my old notebook, I'm a happy camper thank you

tce-audit builddb

When I updated from 4.3, following instructions carefully, I didn't get a GUI at boot. waitforX eventually gave up and I was granted a command prompt, so I entered the commands quoted above. Some kernel-dependent extensions got installed, but the one that I needed to start the GUI was not included: graphics-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz. After installing that one manually, everything is fine. Please investigate. Thanks!

In my case integrated cpuscaling work fine
--- Quote ---What about adding a "safe mode" feature as boot option, like other distros typically offer (acpi=off, noapic, edd=off, no cpufreq etc) ? That would at least make troubleshooting easier....

could be a solution

Was tested against an Xvesa as well as an Xorg setup. Could be that your dep files were not updated. Using Update .dep files would take care of that,
