It should be easy enough to do another install onto that disk, and I've been meaning to do so anyway to have a spare installation for when my main one breaks, so when I can find the time, perhaps I'll try it. I suppose that the conditions won't be quite the same as the original install, but let me know if it will still be useful. > Otherwise I think we should assume this was caused by the problem > we already fixed - unless someone sees this with a current image. > > Either way, thanks for sending in the installation report.
