Right - so far it only affects my Dell machines - an Intel developer
system we tested works fine.

I've narrowed the problem down to somewhere between July 15 (which
works) and July 20 (which doesn't). 

Anyway, yes, boot.iso will probably work for you, and if it doesn't, you
can copy the vmlinuz/initrd to your pre-existing /boot partition and add
an entry for them in grub.conf. They'll boot just fine that way.
