Hmm, that seems to make sense.  I was expecting that problem to pop up on
my end but didn't see.  I just asusmed the boot code didn't use that
decompressor.

Though I am not sure why that is leading to your other PATA problems
below.  Did you have similar problems when you used other decompression
levels?  I am not sure how to explain the differences.
