I'm going to switch to an oe-core only, clean build today. The commit that Khem
referenced was my change where we prototyped this work .. and I fixed the boot.
But I'm still able to boot here, so I was unaware that my -stable
updates managed
to break my own fix :)

Stay tuned, but for now, I'd suggest waiting to hear back from me.
I'll bisect and
fix it again if it (re)broke.
