This version makes Vista happy too. After reboot chkdsk is executed and on second reboot Vista boots successfully. There is a subtle difference: with Anton's fix the progress indicator Vista shows during the initial stage of the boot runs much faster than with this fix; unsure if that is significant though. Cheers, FJP P.S. Szakacsits and Anton: As you both know I've invested a _huge_ amount of time in tracing this issue and providing the information needed. The first reaction was basically "this can't be our bug" and now that it turns out it is, things run the risk of getting stuck in a kind of turf war between developers. I do appreciate all the help you both have provided, but I'd also really appreciate if you'd make the effort to settle your differences and release a fixed version. There is still time to get it out into the world before Vista becomes common and even to get it into Debian Etch, but only if you can settle on the correct patch quickly.
