Comment (by umccullough):

 And some more info: BLDL didn't even exist until hrev42092 (that is
 actually what that commit was about). Before that commit, there was no
 boot loader debug land, and it didn't detect page faults in the bootloader
 - so the bug didn't necessarily get introduced at that time, but rather it
 was revealed.

 Also, while hrev42092 preceded alpha3, it was apparently not merged into
 the alpha3 branch before it was released.

 As such, I'm not sure we can claim that there was a "commit that broke
 Haiku" - but rather a commit that revealed an otherwise-ignored bug in the
 bootloader that has yet to be resolved.

 If the cause can't be determined based on the screenshot (which is
 actually a bit unclear at the top right), then my suggestion is to start
 compiling a list of known-failing machines and get something into a dev's
 hands to debug directly with.
