Re: SGI O2 unable to boot 9.0+

Ah, you got my hopes up! 

But unfortunately, this makes it freeze even before the first line of kernel output! (Maybe that’s a clue?)

I built a 10.0 system on an arm64 system to use as a faster platform to cross-compile kernels on for testing (I don’t fancy building kernels at 200MHz if I’m going to do it many times). I’ll follow Warner’s suggestion and start with 8.3 + some interval and see if I can find the breaking point.
