hi, I am the guy who made that isobar/geteltorito patch. Since you have
an ultrabase, I assume that you've also decided not to go cheap with a
regular harddrive and bought an SSD for your X200s. Did you try to put a
regular SATA harddrive, and setting AHCI mode on/off in BIOS (I have it
"On")? May be memdisk's hijacked INT13h has problems with accessing SSD?
