These two are both reported by me, are the same issue. The exact same kernel, one with PIIXn tuning enabled, will hang the hardware on boot requiring a physical power loss to restart. No tuning options applied, only the capability enabled in the kernel, makes it crash. If necessary I can again provide the boot log and a verbose lspci and whatever else is desired. I'll even let you log in and look at it. -d -- "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'."
