vi_ there's no need to take this personally. One of the newbs who ran your command did say their phone wasn't booting anymore, shortly after you posted the ash compatible version. Depends on how you define screwed, of course. That might not qualify in your book. *Shrug* Point is, there's no need to get emotionally invested in other people referring back to it. It happened, your reputation is thus changed for those who are aware of it. It probably will come up as time goes on.

Meanwhile, why IS the bq27x00_battery module loading by default? Last I checked all the other kernel power versions included it, but didn't load it by default unless you explicitly added it to the /etc/modules file.
