I sent a request for tests of the new probe code to the current list some three weeks ago, and received ZERO replies, which generally means, there is nothing wrong. I'll try to get some debug output from that system, but I'd understand, if you wanted to go back to the previous release, in case there is a new SNAP being built. But to get feedback on this problem, I'd rather have the current revision in -stable, or I'll never be able to understand what's going on. It results in aboot failure, but those people can just boot their kernel.old. There is no risk of data corruption. Please let me have a chance to get some feedback ... I'll try to resolve this in time for 2.1R !
