Ooops. May you please retry with an ISO build from the devel branch?

I suspect feature/7705-smaller-squashfs (merged into experimental, but
not into devel yet) might make the SquashFS decompression heavier
CPU-wise (even if it's lighter IO-wise), which might be a problem with
older machines such as the X61.

Cheers,
