Hi Ingo,
Nah, executables are padded and aligned. Small deltas like this do not normally show up.My feelings exactly. Now I hope the new kernel does print something enlightening ...Well, we'll see... I have booted Akire now with that kernel. Runs fine the last hour so far... ;-)
It wasn't exactly an easy bug to trigger in the first place. Wait for the next dist-upgrade perhaps :-)
Cheers, Michael
