Thanks to LEVAI Daniel for providing his dmesg. To add mere confirmation, I too was able to boot 4.4 release with NIC interface active/recognized after 'boot -c' + 'disable acpi', however I was unable to muster the skill to accomplish the ftp transfer. Is Daniel's dmesg sufficient for debug, or would a capture of a default-config dmesg (with all its error messages) be beneficial? If the latter, I will endeavor to connect a floppy drive...
