It's about 6MB in length.
So I would type: $ col -b < your-typescript-file | less and then the less commands: -j 12 <RETURN> /linux-image <RETURN> and then n to see the next match for linux-image. That may give you some idea of what failed. FAOD no space is typed between /linux-image and the <RETURN> keystroke. col -b is not perfect so the file will look a little messy in parts, with extra characters. -j is just to give 12 lines of context before the matching string, to save scrolling.
