Comment 18 for bug 708883

warmcat,
Did your x-loader changes fix the above issue conclusively.

I had seen similar issue(the one that you have explained in your patch not this bug) on Blaze and fixed it with this patch(On this tree this would also apply to Panda).

http://dev.omapzoom.org/?p=bootloader/x-loader.git;a=commit;h=7ecbec096c300c7e71b663eae51945522329bfbd

However, in this case, it would crash in x-loader and it wouldn't go beyond that.
But from the comments above it looks like the crash is happening when kernel is booting?
Please let me know if my understanding is wrong.

BTW, I tried booting on my 8-layer Panda with 20110207 hw pack and 20110206 headless images.
It worked just fine for me.
