An unfortunate mistake has happened with the upgrade to linux 0.99.7
regarding xiafs.
The code which is in 0.99.7 is *not* based on xiafs 0.7.3. You should
*NOT* use xiafspgm 0.8 to modify your xiafs partition until a patch can
be sent out for linux 0.99.7, otherwise you will render your partition
useless. I know, since I just did it :-). xiafspgm 0.8 assumes that
you are using xiafs 0.7.3, which I wasn't.
For those like me who just hung themselves, it would be *great* if
Mr. H.J. Lu could please issue a new bootable rootdisk for linux 0.99.7,
containing xiafs 0.7.3, after a patch becomes available for it.
