Hello,

Thanks for the try. It did not appear to make a difference, though I 
cannot rule out I did not apply the patch and recompile correctly. I 
hope I did though and everything I checked indicated I was using my 
compiled version and not the original Debian package. Is there something 
I can check so we can be convinced I am using the patched version?

What you said in the comments of the patch actually makes sense. I 
remember many years ago I had an odd issue with OS/2 Boot Manager acting 
strange. Eventually, the culprit seemed to be something buggy with my 
BIOS and the way it booted drives. It has been a long time and I don't 
remember the specific details, but I am sure there was something similar 
to your idea.
