      I grabbed two builds that were made today, loaded them to a 4GB CF card, and booted them up on my Alix board.  Neither are usable at all and I'm wondering if I did something wrong or missed an announcement.

      First issue is that the bootloader drops me to a prompt and I have to type "boot" to continue starting up.  After that the startup scripts fail and I get a root shell:

        Looks like something is crashing during the boot process. Are you sure that is a good CF card?

        If you try even older snapshots, can you get one to work?
