Since Joseph has verified that they do work on the AS1200 and Doug has verified that the loader still works on the non-affected machines, is anyone going to commit or start the process to have these committed? The patches do not affect the intel loader, just alpha, so the risk is minimal. If nobody thinks that the changes I've suggested (adding an unmount/remount/changedisk command) are wrong, then I will have some large patches that should wait until after 4.3. -Michael >> Yes, this is the problem I believe has just been fixed.
