Hmm. OK. I didn't realize there had been such significant recent
changes. I've made a new stick (hrev44242). Unfortunately the
changes are so significant that it won't boot on my current machine!!
(The boot icons appear, but none light up. Safe mode makes no
difference.)
[BTW, I'm slightly confused about the safe-mode options. Does
the top "Safe Mode" item select all the ones below, or are they
completely independent? If the latter, what does safe mode *do*
exactly?]
I guess I have to take the new version along to try, but I'm not
sure how hopeful I am. My current (Dell) box has had drive troubles,
so if I get the laptop I can probably retire it (though I'm not happy
about the inability to update before then!).
I'm thinking that I'm likely to buy the laptop anyway. It would certainly
be dual-boot, so I'd at least have a fully usable Ubuntu partition --
maybe AVLinux, too. With Dane et al pressing, I guess we're certain
to get full HDA eventually. [And I'm willing to help, though I don't think
I'd want to apply for a bounty.]
