No, not at all. It still fails to boot, triggering a system alarm beep
sequence some time after the initramfs is loaded (with no output on
serial). I've just decoded the flashing LED codes using the doc at
[1]. I've got the System LED flashing red, and Diagnostic LED #3 solid
red. That indicates "System Board", which is a bit
non-specific. Especially considering the system boots fine now using
older kernels.
