Re: Please test debian-installer rc1 images

Hello Martin,

Long time no see.

I just tried the RC1 image on the bcm1480, and ran into a few problems.
Some of them likely due to being rusty...

1) couldn't boot sibyl from disk with 'boot ide0.0:', I used the guided
install. I'm pretty certain my CFE is "recent".

2) After installing and rebooting (over the network), the kernel
hung/crashed at the following fairly early on:

[CPU3]

[c[    0.000000] Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on.

Thoughts? Seems like I'd seen this class of failure a long time ago, but
darned if I can remember what caused it...
