Comment 28 for bug 708883

Interesting data point today, I booted the stripped down image that Ken sent out. The first two times I was able to get all the way to a shell prompt and even type a few commands, however the leds on the board flickered out and a few seconds later I could not communicate with the board on the serial console (nothing on HDMI due to another bug).

The third time I booted, the lights on the board still went out, but the board never locked up either. So it seems that it appears to lose power, but isn't actually losing power - possibly just locking up and going dark.
