asl-firstboot reboots system

asl-firstboot has a simple network failsafe that will try to detect if the network on the system has been initialized correctly on the first boot of an ASL kernel. Its does this by comparing the exact network configuration that system had when ASL was installed, and if anything has changed it will attempt to reboot into the last known working kernel. If you change the network deliberately, after installing ASL but before rebooting the system for the first time the failsafe will incorrectly detect that the network has not been initialized correctly.

If this happens to you, just disable the failsafe by removing the init file:

rm /etc/init.d/asl-firstboot

If you did not change the network, then ASL is detecting that something is wrong with the network and it is not initialized as it did when ASL was first installed. You will need to either disable the failsafe, or investigate why the network is starting up correctly.
