The bootimage works normaly. The only thing I changed was, that I commented out
the test in the linuxrc program,
that tries to read a file called version on the cd. This file did not exist in
the first iso. Now it is in there. So there is
definately no need to download 640MB again. Why don't you use the bootcd to
restore your boot partition? e2fsck and reiserfsck are included.
