Thats helpful. The conf2 cycles are the wrong type for the board so with
acpi=off pci=conf2 it doesn't see any PCI devices and doesn't explode. I
see nothing odd in the lspci data at all however.

You also have a lot of RAM, that shouldn't matter but it means you hit
code paths most users don't. If you boot with mem limited to 1GB I
assume it still blows up ?
