 Build 353 works for me, but recent builds including 362-366 are not
 booting for me.  I am using a usb thumbdrive and writing the devel-ext3
 build on them.  I get the following messages:

 {{{

 ok
 }}}

 I tried replacing /boot/ on the key flashed with 366 with the contents of
 /boot/ from build 353, and the machine booted successfully (although there
 were errors because the modules were from the wrong kernel version)


 This is with a b2 laptop.
