Thank you for your answer. I was half wondering if that was the case
after staring at those log messages several more times. I don't
understand hardware at the low level but got thinking maybe interrupt
routing issue. There's an Nvidia PCI Express card in there that gets
IRQ 16, though it was not initialized by a driver at the time. (plain
old VGA console after fresh cold boot... no framebuffer, no X, no
nvidia module). I guess some things don't share well.

It works well in that other OS that came with the hardware, but
that's beside the point.
