It turns out it did in fact boot! The 686-pae kernel crashed, but it
also installed 2.6.38 as an option. So I booted into that and it let
me try to install linux-image-486, which pulled in 3.0.0.
It didn't actually succeed, because the Linutop 2 only has 1GB flash
"hard disk" and I ran out of disk ;-) But it appears it is possible to
boot the test install, using the previous kernel that it kindly
installs.
I have since installed stable, so can't test further for the moment.
But there is a workaround, even if it's not apparent during the
install itself.
