Maybe even in the stage 1 boot loader. IIRC since I wrote it a few people changed the code also with respect to debugging. I don't know its current state. It may not even be supposed to actually boot with debugging enabled but only print helpful information. I suppose the easiest way to find out is to disable debugging only for the stage 1 and later also for the state 2 boot loader and see when things start to boot further again. > Looking at the Buildbot logs, there's some odd errors while creating > the image. Could these be responsible? At least in the snippet you pasted I don't see anything that looks like an error. The additional output seems to stem from unzip, which has also been built with debugging enabled. CU, Ingo
