Wrong assumption. This one was known long beta3, I guess a symptom of that 
noone knew he has to advertise his bugs ;)

As I understood it is a PDC 202xx issue

It was told me to have 
# CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE 
enabled would fix it.

But there seems to be an issue ... hmm don't care. I can only forward 
informations of others on these topic ... i could maybe reach a list of 
twenty people with the PDC202xx issue trough a guy from a webboard. A new 
floppy image with a -BOOT kernel with the above option enabled should clear
