[arm-allstar] Problem booting RPi image

Tue Feb 26 02:23:44 EST 2019

It could be any of those things but I would probably go with a bad SD card
write. The image is good and if you do a checksum on the .img file and if
it matches what is shown on the web page you are goo to that point.
Possibly there is an issue with your card writer.
