Well, I did an update just now; worked fine, rebooted into Diablo fine; then again, I have no trouble with soft-poweroff, and GA has the same as Chinook. I think it depends how you installed your particular illegitimate offspring of Diablo what effects you get...

@qwerty12:
Regarding that color mod, I'm planning one better... but I'm not sure it'll work. Is there any real benefit to switching over to the diablo initfs? If so, I might switch to that before I do any real custom work...

Do I infer correctly that you wrote some stuff to the config partition to make the version change? I've been interested in setting rd-flags from the device, and it looks like you might be headed that way...
