For this who may want to work around this in the interim (until there
is a fix (;-)), I found that if I turn off LBA mode and reload
the dos partition, (with all the restrictions that implies), the
problem *does not* occur. [Perhaps the new slicing code is not
quite--emmm--robust yet?]
I would have done that sooner, but I wanted to be relatively sure
that the system would run 2.0.5 incase I wanted to return it to
the dealer...
