Ok, if you upload new kernel images before sunday evening, I will try to build
a new set of bootdisks (maybe just rebuilding the rescue, drivers & tftpboot
images only to minimize the risk, and the doc too).
Do you will have time to test them a bit before the release if I upload them
next monday afternoon ? (I will try before 14h CET).

Regards.
