I suspected so, since I didn't have any problems warm rebooting from
Chris's new bootables. Maybe this fix should go into the informal
FAQ so people don't get frustrated when building new kernels? I know
it took me several hours to track it down, and if I wasn't so stubborn,
I probably would have given up.
BTW, has anyone experimented with the ISO lower layers (TP4/CLNP)?
I'm currently compiling them into the kernel, but it would be nice to
know up front if there are any show-stoppers.
