I meant it doesn't successfully even load the kernel - but since you get
that far, at least, that may be working better these days.  :)

OK, the kernel in there is two weeks or so younger than the one I'm
running, so I guess something bad may have happened in the interval --
unless you've got hardware trouble...  What kind of power supply do you
have?  I thought for sure I had a bad Pi3B+ board until someone told me
to get a real 3A power supply, to replace the random 2A wall wart I was
running it off.  Sure enough, reliable power at the right voltage did
the trick.

Nope.  I originally booted off one of Jared's images at invisible.ca,
and have upgraded the kernel and userland from source since then.
