I figure having the latest bootloader > should not cause problems, correct? V5 is when UFS2 was introduced as well as moving the kernel and modules locations. That is why the need to re-build boot. This has not happened since V5, so there is no need to manually re-build the boot again. It gets re-built in any case. The procedure in the 4 to 5 upgrade was to allow the boot of the newly built kernel. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
