Bug Description

After successfully building an ixp4xx image with Ubuntu's d-i, and flashing that image via upslug2, my NSLU2 refused to boot. It seems the kernel is starting (the lights flash in the usual "starting up" pattern that Debian shows, then it goes solid red suggesting a freeze of some sort). I can't provide more detail without a serial console since I have no access to the onboard boot messages.

apex used to overwrite itself on load, additionally the default defined ramdisk size was to big, both issues were fixed in the 1.4.15.2ubuntu2 upload of apex
