Re: Raptor Talos II no boot disk after installation

Hi Mark,

I got the output into a text file, but have a couple of points about it:

1.  Opening it on my x86_64 linux system, mousepad tells me the
document is not UTF-8 valid, and other valid encodings were found.
Looking at the file, it's mostly readable, but I did spot some unmapped
characters, specifically in the serial numbers for the two DIMMs (lines
7050 and 7085).
2.  It's 267KiB, and I read only the ports, tech, and bugs lists accept
attachments.  Since this email is going to you directly, I'll attach it
for convenience, but let me know if I should also send it in a message
to the list.

FWIW, all the primary platform versions from Petitboot's system
information on my system matches exactly what George sent for his
system.
