Hmm, no, must be a different thing.  It was in a "seemingly innocuous"
patch at the top of my tree, and system rescue CD works for me.  No XZ
error and it boots fine in 3-4 minutes.

BTW, the cache option fails to cache things for me due to lack of memory
(requires 512M).  I also tried with "-m 1024", but it still succeeds.
