Okay. v3.12.5-rt7 is something I released with -RT changes. v3.12.6-rt8 has zero -RT changes, only stable increment. That means, the -RT patch should be exactly the same (except for localversion). So whatever breaks booting v3.12.6-rt8 is something that came via stable queue. > > Jordan > Sebastian
