That means you found a bug of some sort, or a problem with probing, or
something.  You should not construe it to mean it is not
supported. You should check explicitly.

That being the case, please give booting the INSTALL kernel another try and
confirm that it is still broken or fixed, and file a PR if appropraite. Thanks.
