Well, those new machines should _not_ (never !) be booted from BootX, at
least until I find a way to fix BootX. The kernel is guaranteed to be
non-reliable if booting with BootX, random bits of memory will get
overriden by hardware devices while running Linux.

I'll probably post a new BootX version that prints a big warning when
launched on any of those new machines.
