v5.17-rc2 ok.  v5.17-rc3 I get the disk sector errors and hang that I
reported in the first message in this thread.

(Unrelated, I *did* enable the framebuffer option, and that part of the
boot worked just fine.)

I'm going to try a native build of '-rc3' just to rule out any
cross-compiler strangeness.  Should have something to report in another
34 hours or so :-(.
