While booting from the USB the BTX loader (1.00, BTX version 1.02) brings up as usual the menu with the numbers 1-6 for the boot form and counts down the time; until here total normal; but: - when you let it count to zero it tries to start the kernel and only one char of the rotating -/|\ is printed, nothing more happens; - when you just press any of the numbers it gives the same result; - when you press SPACE to stop the countdown and then any number it boots fine; any idea what is wrong of what could I check for more information?
