Wow, that's OLD!..
Maybe try a newer kernel, it has probably been fixed.
Yes, --adding the device could cause it to store recovery. I do recall there
have been a few different situations that caused that not to work, but I
don't recall the details.
If you have a service contract, complain to your vendor. If not, upgraded to
something a bit less than 5 years old ;-)
sorry I cannot be more helpful.
