Why release an image (even experimental) at all if it clearly does not even boot? No point in doing that - it just creates confusion. People may have all sorts of problems with this new platform and often want to find out if the issues they are having might be fixed in the upcoming pre-release. Like I am currently having issues with usb3.
And, yes, we all can read - no need to be cocky about that.
Wasn't cocky towards you - I was quite specific in my responses above.
On the subject of the image in question; it boots on some boards but not on others, and the reason for this is still not 100% clear. The purpose of pre-releases is to determine whether something does or does not work; The developer also needs feedback and contributions to continue the progress on the image.
While I understand that people want to run pre-release images, they should not complain about features not working (or the image not working at all) if the pre-release is marked highly experimental.
