that sounds strange... which version of dolphindos is that? (there was one 
that connects to the expansion port iirc?).

i dont think there are differences that should affect it, the most important 
one is the PLA (which is in a cpld) and the clock generator (8701 
replacement).

that powerup behaviour seems strange also, does it happen with regular kernal 
and no dolphin connected too? 

in any case, report those problems back to jens - i havent heard about any 
problems like that after the initial test boards and related fixes. (perhaps 
try installing the MCU update first)
