I'm sorry to hear that. The reason we did it is because it was starting to
become really unwieldy to add a yet another alternative choice N in an
ALTERNATIVE_N call...

Anyway, I'll try to reproduce here. In the meantime, can anyone who can
reproduce - Guenter, Jens - boot that failing kernel with

  debug-alternative=-1

and copy dmesg and vmlinux somewhere for me?

It is a lot of output so make sure to catch it all.

Thx.
