Ah, excellent. I think I understand how that works.
Sadly, I'm not so sure that's the case, since it prints:
---
PCI or EISA Bus Adapter 0 is not registered. in8(0x64) returning -1;
" in8(0x60) returning -1;
---
This message is not an exact copy since my notes are at home.

This printk alternates, dare I say, forever? (I'll leave it running for
a few hours and see what happens). 

I'll try and figure out what, if any, driver is broken.
Most importantly I'll disable PCI/EISA support for now and see how
far the system boots.

Thanks W!
