Hey Holger, By SVN Version, I assume you mean the head trunk, not the 0-8-0 stable branch?
The primary differences between 0.8.10 and trunk is my call to "BMC boot flag valid bit clearing" (param 3 as you describe below). My recollection about this section is a little hazy, but I believe you want to call this command so that boot parameters are permanently stored (rather than being cleared after a reboot). Is this the side affect you're witnessing? Since this was a semi-big change, I decided not to backport it. However, if you guys need it, I can go ahead and backport it into the stable branch and release with the next version.
