 from the PR:
 
  :  It turns out, after some experimentation, that this isn't related to
  :  using a USB drive; the new bootloader fails when booting from a hard
  :  drive as well.  This is reproducable on several similar
  :  configurations:
  : 
  :      VIA EPIC Mini-ITX motherboard, BIOS rev. 2.06
  :      VIA EPIC V Mini-ITX motherboard, BIOS rev. 1.03
  :      VIA EPIC V Mini-ITX motherboard, BIOS rev. 1.06
 
 Do you have any of that hw any more?
 
 If not, let's close it.
