After looking at this again I'm fairly certain that this is the real 
problem, so I've gone ahead and made the necessary changes. These changes 
I made should become effective in daily built installer images as soon as 
we switch over to the 2.6.25 kernel.

A confirmation that loading sun_esp does indeed work for you would still 
be very much appreciated of course.

Thanks for reporting the issue and for providing the info that helped me 
to spot the error.

Cheers,
