To add yet another data point, I tried booting a snapshot from last
year (2010-11-17), and that also had the same problem, but only when
booted into a full production mode.  When booted from CD, it worked
just fine.  Should I even bother trying a ppc32 install?  I know I'd
lose out on 2GB of the RAM.
