Yes, could you dump the IO port data from 0x2f00 to 0x2fff and send it to me, it record the base address BIOS trap?
Also, could you update the latest BIOS to try this issue again?

this happened with AHCI mode set in bios, pci=nomsi as kernel boot parameter 
and kernel 2.6.25-rc8.

Something similar looking happened without pci=nomsi, but in that case I could 
not scroll back to even make a picture because of the kernel panic (rootfs 
not found).

Glück Auf
