Thanks for your report.

The log file provided doesn't contains information about the crash. Could you please try to reproduce and attach the file /var/log/apt/term.log to this report. Thanks.

it actualy has nothing to do with broadcom driver specifically. When I
try installing anything same happens with initramfs-tools.
/var/log/apt/term.log has only couple lines with log started and
date/time and log ended and date and time... nothing else :(. I tried
downloading and transferring to different sd/usb flash's and always with
same result. and 9.10 works great on same machine (compaq mini 110c
vz74ea). I attached complete /var/log directory. Hope it helps
