Bruce, thanks for the reply - I don't think so. The image works fine on
every other supermicro server we've ever used, and continues to do so,
except for the NUC.
Using the mem= kernel parameter gets the NUC further in the boot process,
but then it complains about the squashfs error (for the same working image
everywhere else). The mem= kernel parameter also breaks other
normally-working systems, so that's why I'm trying to either:
1. Fix the mem= kernel parameter, somehow
or
2. Get the vmlinuz initial kernel to recognize the memory in the NUC,
somehow
