Re: [Freemint-discuss] XaAES often crashes during boot after a reboot

[Miro K. <mir...@gm...>]

Oh dear. Any chance you could grab some older snapshot from
https://tho-otto.de/snapshots/freemint/bootable and observe how it behaves?
I can't say I have noticed something like this on my CT60(+SV, sometimes)
setup. What does xaaes log say? Does it crash in the same place?
