This problem comes from a bad reorganization of code I did in the past when adding netboot support, a "sleep 1" were here but I moved it where it makes no sense, sorry about that. > The patch also fixes a bug which led to non-wrapped systems being unable to > boot (that is, the test would always fail).

Thanks for this insight, that part of code was a bad hack I need to polish soon anyway, your patch is included in bzr repo and the next upload will close this bug too. Thanks for your time and support. -- ESC:wq
