Please define the definition of 'now', and i have not seen any instance of you
correcting me on other forums.
I know that as of ubuntu/dapper, the current stable ubuntu, mkvmlinuz support
is not included, and *I* had to provide a upgraded mkvmlinuz so people where
able to install ubuntu on the pegasos and other zImage using boxes (like the
PReP ones and some IBM CHRPs).
Also, even if the patch was readded or some other solution was found, the
above assertion is still true, as it clearly describe what happened, and
unless you have a time machine, it will remain true.
Friendly,
