Sorry about the delay, the merge window is busier than usual ...

So I tried it on:

1) Intel box, old kernel, new tools: threw an error
2) AMD box, new kernel, new tools: threw an error
3) AMD box, old kernel, new tools: threw an error

failure was expected in all 3 cases, but it threw the exact same error with no
real indication about what the problem was, while the real problem was different
for each case:

1) good CPU, bad kernel
2) bad CPU, good kernel
3) bad CPU, bad kernel

I'd expect the 'good CPU, good kernel' combination to work:

4) Intel box, new kernel, new tools

... but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks,

Ingo
