Ok, great. Can you send me the complete output of the bootup phase? I just
want to see exactly what we print out for this case, to see that we're ok.
A normal "dmesg" incorrectly truncates the output fairly early, so I'm
including a really cheezy one that does slightly better. So if you could
just run this and send me the output I'd be grateful.
(And btw, thanks for the information earlier. I really didn't think
anybody would be so broken as to do what your BIOS apparently does, but
hey, it's allowed, and I think we're better for supporting it)
