I have one from January 1st, one from the 18th of August, and an old 1.3 kernel.
Is the August one current, or is there another newer one elsewhere?
Under the August one, I have the same problems as last time I tried this.
(I write a disklabel and then read it back, even across reboots, but the
 kernel doesn't recognise it, and I can't write bootblocks on the device.)
