I believe this was a problem with the build. I'll review and ensure
the next one will work

No, I think we actually got the wrong kernel. There's also some boot
issues with the 3.2 pre kernel in general that makes it look like the
kernel actually crashed before it got very far at all.

Basically wait until I build and announce os2. The build is primarily
aimed at core sugar developers at the moment to allow them to build
and test the latest gtk3 version of sugar.
