What is the reason for the problem and any chance to fix it in the
future ?
Second guessing that the problem (which you notably don't report) is
that the kernel fails to even start booting properly when booting with
aboot I suggest that you haven't updated aboot on your boot disk to
the newest version. I think it is about 2.6.23 that the newer aboot
is required. Note that upgrading the aboot package is insufficient to
rectify this. You must also run the swriteboot program on your boot
disk. The man file for swriteboot gives suitable instruction on its
use.
