6 It might still be, depending on how you've reinstalled. If you
7 blanked the first few gigabytes of the disk with 'dd if=/dev/zero
8 of=/dev/sda' and then repartitioned the drive, there shouldn't be
9 anything left of what that evil button did. But if you kept the
10 partition table as it was and just recreated the file systems,
11 there might still be some marker in the partition header
12 of /dev/sda3 that doesn't look right to the kernel. But it is
13 quite unlikely.

15 Anyway, the solution could have come from yourself, if you had
16 told the list what it was that you missed in the kernel config:
