Description
I encountered this when trying to investiagate a possible regression in the new wpa_supplicant.
This may be 2 issues but treating it as one:
amd64: after selecting revision, bootloader loads kernel that jumps to CMOS then the bootloader starts and loads haiku normally (latest)
Pc: asus aspire one MBR install
x86: after selecting revision bootloader loads the kernel splash screen appears and then hangs (no icons light up)
Pc: medion md97600
bootloader for x86 is hrev54064
On x86 the latest revision i can boot is hrev54024,
the lats one i cannot boot is hrev53967
bootloader for amd64 is hreb54042
On amd64 the latest revision i can boot is hrev54042,
the last one i cannot boot is hrev53880
For both systems there are no intermediate states saved between those hrevs, maybe someone who updated their system after the latest failing one and before the latest working one can add info aswell to further narrow down the hrev. Or see if this is an issue on other mbr systems aswell in general.

Indeed, an older kernel will compare the provided arg size, and fail to continue booting.

The microcode change in hrev54003 is in that range; I don't know what else could have caused it. korli, was the boot breakage of older kernels by newer loaders intentional?
