I could not bisect because i could not download the git source (no idea why, i have done it before)

i know, there idea was to ask if someone else had the same problem (sometimes i miss topics)
I am very busy there days so i could not test 15.1 but here is the output of 15.2.
The systems works fine with 15.0. this is a hexdump of the output.
As you can see until 0003670 everything looks normal.
but at the start of linuxrc you find: 8881
Other 81 (and 88) are creeping in and some point later the whole system crashes.
(not on capture here). BTW the script gets wrongly interpreted later.
The think is reproduceable i see always these 818181 crap.

note: i do not expect that anyone will debug this without help
but i have no more time this weeks and perhaps someone else can reproduce that.
