I have an XP1000 system sitting at the "can't load kernel" after an install of 4.1. I understand that this issue may have been solved in the last couple of days and I admit that I have not yet had a chance to address this or even had the cycles to do more than look at the screen. However, even if this is fixed, shouldn't we let it soak for awhile before saying 4.x is production quality? If Joe Shmo ftps down an ISO of 4.1 is he going to install/boot/run? If the probability is high enough, ok. If not, lets wait.
