Newbie myself, I'm not sure I can help. But I can share! I also went to 4.4.0 quite fast because of res./color problems with my Intel chipset (laptop). Tne install went well but I kept on getting error messages of various natures (fontpath, etc...). So, my experience is 1- When you get to that screen type exit at the prompt and it'l tell you what caused the server to crash 2- 4.4.0, as I understand changes directories from 1 location to another and rewrites links but and it seems that a bunch of those get forgotten in the process. 3- On Mandrake 9.2 (mine) the config file is XF86Config-4 and 4.4.0 seems to be creating a XF86Config, which seems to bring some confusion to the loading process. 4- I noticed that I was getting better results by running 'xf86config' after the install. 5- Eventually, I reverted to the older version, 'cause I don't have the experience to correct/rewrite all that needs to be done to have 4.4.0 work on my Mdrk 9.2.
