The daily image doesn't start (at least on QNAP). You only get the cursor and the screen redraws, but you never see any blue window. The image from 2008-09-22 worked whereas that from 2008-09-24 (or later) fails to start. I reverted all changes to see which one broke the installer and came up with a very surprising change that makes the current image work again:
