OK. So since this is a rather self contained part, I would like to fix 
this, and make it work so that the installer can handle it. Apparently 
nobody is working on it and I already started looking into it anyway. 
Don't know if anybody will look into the kernel part, but I can try it 
after fixing the installation issue first.
