I'll check. I was actually using aboot-0.5 source from a while back but
I'll get the SRPM for aboot-0.5-7 and recheck. I made a bunch of changes
to the older aboot-0.5 to get it to compile agains the 2.2.1 kernel, but
sadness resulted when a change to increase the number of ext2 groups to
cope with seemed to cause it to blow large holes in the filesystem the
resultant e2writeboot was run on.
