OK I didn't actually get around to test pre3 in life. But at least it's nice to hear that this is apparently not my fault ;-).

Compiling without preempt the booting of 2.5.6-pre3 runs flawlessly. And after a few tests no file corruption visible. But 2.5.6-pre2 + preempt-UP-bug-patch worked like a charm. So there's something else involved, it seems. > > During the compilation I happened to get a brief glimpse of a warning in ide.c Don't know C so can't evaluate its severity. Went something like this: 'In function choose_drive Warning: distinkt pointer lacks a cast'. That's spurious and will vanish soon. I just peplaced IDE_MAX and IDE_MIN with the generic min() max(), which are showing nicely where int entities of different size are compared.
