Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
A lot of people have trouble booting the live system (i386 and amd6) of current gutsy Tribe3 candidates.
* Sometimes it gets until X and hangs
* Sometimes modprobe crashes a lot and dmesg is filled with "modprobe: segmentation fault rip:...", and the VTs only show "Module is unknown" lines (and no getty, ethernet, etc.)
* Sometimes it eternally hangs during boot even before X. In the latter case I tried sysrq+8 and syqrq+T to get a call trace, and I saw a lot of processes hanging in a semaphore in squashfs. I couldn't capture this as a screenshot unfortunately. I have a screenshot which hangs in a unionfs semaphore, I'll attach that just in case it might be useful.

this is the screenshot from one sysrq+t which seemed very common.
Oliver has hardware which reliably reproduces such hangs (in wildly different manners), and according to him Tribe2 worked on the same hw.
