It might still be, depending on how you've reinstalled.  If you 
blanked the first few gigabytes of the disk with 'dd if=/dev/zero 
of=/dev/sda' and then repartitioned the drive, there shouldn't be 
anything left of what that evil button did.  But if you kept the 
partition table as it was and just recreated the file systems, 
there might still be some marker in the partition header 
of /dev/sda3 that doesn't look right to the kernel.  But it is 
quite unlikely.

Anyway, the solution could have come from yourself, if you had 
told the list what it was that you missed in the kernel config:
