There's no simple way to modifiy an existing install ISO so it will boot on an U1 and install a loader that is able to boot from a disk attached to the on-board controller. It's proably easier to build a custom install ISO with gzipfs disabled or a patch with a proper workaround in the first place. If you meant what it would take to get either of it into the 6.0-R ISOs it's most likely too late; I don't think that changes allowing U1 (which are not yet properly supported anyway due to lack of drivers for the on-board NIC and CG6 cards) to boot would be accepted this late in the release cycle. > > At the time when the "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" error occured I have made > a ctrace and a ftrace.

Like I wrote the problem is understood, I just need time to sit down and think of an acceptable workaround for that firmware limitation and implement it. Thanks anyway.
