Absolutely.

I tried again today and got another error, related to squashfs. The
squashfs on the SD card had a different checksum that the one on the
original USB stick. I had to copy it several times to get the right
checksum. Then it booted fine on the X200.

My conclusion is that the read on the X61 is buggy.

So I ACK that branch, everything works fine when the files are copied
correctly :)

Can you please do that merge, as I don't know all this black magic you
do with .debs and multiple repos.
