Kernel 3.18.3 crashes when formatting iSCSI drive #39

First of all, I must say this is an awesome utility! I love it! Debian installed without a hitch.

One issue that I am having is that I cannot figure out how to copy an older kernel image to my SD card. I even tried specifying the --deb-file tag, but that just causes my Wandboard not to boot. I believe that the latest kernel 3.18.3 will not work with iSCSI because it crashes when I try to format. I have a SheevaPlug running Wheezy using kernel 3.0.2 and I can format the same iSCSI drive just fine. Any suggestions you can make would be greatly appreciated.

For i.mx6's, give the "--use-beta-kernel" flag, 3.18.x is very unreliable on my wand's, i've already switched them to v3.19-rc4/5. However v3.19-rc5 is broken on omap's, so i haven't pushed v3.19-rc5 over 3.18.x in the stable channel yet. Regards,

Thanks Robert! I added the "--use-beta-kernel" flag and everything is working perfectly now.
