I am forwarding the below reproduced conversation between= Volker and I per his request, regarding a reported bug.

I believe t= hat the bug report can be closed for two reasons: (1) subsequent to a first= successful boot, I was unable to re-create the bug during about 10-15 reb= oots, and (2) the motherboard has died during compilation of "world", just = moments ago.

Should you have a different opinion, please let me know= .

Kindest regards,

Pavel
