[WBEL-devel] Brown Paper Bag time again

[John Morris]

The x86_64 images currently posted will not boot. Still working out
exactly WHY, when the only change from the last known working version was
whitebox-release (and of course new comps and rpmdb packages) but the
important thing is that a workaround has been created. See the download
page for a small 4.4MB .iso with a working boot image. New x86_64 ISOs
will of course have to be released once a full understanding is achieved.

p.s. I know everyone is asking why didn't I do a test install and catch
this one? Of course my build host's DVD/CD writer had picked this last
weekend to go unreliable. So I pushed the images across the network and
burned a set, did an install on my i386 test box and ASSumed that since
only three packages had changed I could skip suffering through an install
on a balky CD reader. So when the replacement showed up today I did
attempt a test install and started looking for a fresh brown paper bag.
Happens every time ya don't TEST. Starting to feel like the Unknown Comic.
:( Guess I can take comfort in being the first to report my own idiocy to
the lists.
