My interpretation is that the hole in: Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... No valid device tree blob found! WARNING! Trying to fire up the kernel, but no device tree blob found! !!!! LOTS OF STUFF MISSING HERE. !!!! Setting hostuuid: 7c431ce3-c871-11e8-974a-e0fff70020ed. spans from at the end of the the loader, through all the kernel output, into the output associated with world. Given that it managed to boot, dmesg does show from ---<<BOOT>>--- on. And I observe that the dtb notice really is a to-be-expected warning for ACPI in this sort of context. >> I do not know what to do to get, say, the slower speed EtherNet = going, >> or if I can.

I'll look into finding and using a USB Ethernet dongle that I think is around somewhere. Thanks much. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
