I have a few images you, or anyone with an affected system, can try without needing me to be in front of the machine. (If this doesn't work then we can see if we can make arrangements.) These are the usual hybrid CD/USB images created by grub-mkrescue, despite the .iso extension. The patch files alongside them are each relative to http://bzr.sv.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub/ revision 3006, built with './autogen.sh && ./configure --with-platform=pc && make && ./grub-mkrescue --grub-mkimage=./grub-mkimage --override-directory=grub-core -o 1.iso' (etc.). http://people.debian.org/~cjwatson/tmp/grub-pci/ Boot each of the images, which should result in a GRUB prompt, and run: set debug=pci lspci The first image should hang; I'm interested in the last bus number printed. The second may or may not hang, depending on the exact point things go wrong; again, I'm interested in the last bus number printed. If my theory is correct, then the third should complete successfully; either way, I'd like the full output from the third image (sorry, it may take a little while to transcribe).
