Will this fix this?
Nope, I don't think so. The Tecra problem is one of cache coherency when the A20 is first enabled, and it causes the machine to reboot after "Loading Linux...............", returning you to "boot:". The kernel patch simply flushes the cache. More details can be found at: http://www.cck.uni-kl.de/misc/tecra710/ and a temporary replacement rescue disk can be found at: http://www.math.virginia.edu/~kdh5j/debian/tecra730 The next set of boot disks will contain this kernel patch. I think that your concern is a common one. Perhaps other list members will be able to help.
