Maybe you mean me :-) Unfortunately I haven't had almost any time 
the last months to do some real hacking, and I'm not sure that the
-current MSCP routines are stable yet. The problem with kernel
crashes when booting in 1.2 seems to have disappeared anyway because
of the change of come console dependent code. it will probably take
until after Chrismas before I can start hacking again.
