Mine does have the larger disk (256GB), otherwise they should be identical.

I've got an ancient kernel config that has been culted along for several
years; I do build a ton of useless modules, but I boot without an
initrd, so it seems like there shouldn't be many differences by the time

Of course I'd be willing to do whatever tests someone would like to
suggest; just that I don't know how to get a netconsole on this machine,
which makes it pretty hard to figure anything out before the screen
lights up.
