Issue 240: HardwareUUID changes so that certain system settings reset！ - Chameleon open source boot loader project.

Reported by Bean Cox, Mar 24, 2012

First，I'm curious to figure out why Chameleon showing "Errors 
encountered while starting up the computer." When I look into 
the source, I can only find two appearence with "gErrors". 
One is definition gErrors=FALSE, another is if(gErrors) {***} . I 
just can't work out when and where gErrors change its value to TRUE.
Second, I don't know if the problem above has anything to do with my 
HardwareUUID changes. Once it changes, some system setting reset. My 
launchpad is back to normal.Some input methods I already added can't 
get access directly--I have to manually add them again.
Puzzled. answers appreciated  :D

the error() function (like verbose + printf) is where gErrors is set 
to true. This function is defined in i386/libsaio/console.c

error is called in:
i386/libsaio/stringTable.c
i386/libsaio/ntfs.c
i386/libsaio/load.c
i386/libsaio/hfs.c
i386/libsaio/disk.c
i386/boot2/drivers.c

I'm sure I missed a few files...

Maybe the gError changed its value to TRUE because of the ntfs.c  
Chameleon also show up  "ntfs_fixup : magic doesn't match : 
00557fff  != 454c4946"
don't know how to solve the problem :(
