Hi Jeremy,

I could try to compile netconsole and the NIC driver into the kernel to
capture the kernel messages if that would help.
Well, I've tried it on a newish Intel mobo machine with on-board ahci, and that fails. Another, older, Dell machine using a scsi controller works fine. I haven't tried my laptop yet.

In theory AHCI is ACHI, so the controller vendor shouldn't matter. It may have more to do with interrupt controller configuration or memory layout.

On your failing machine, does it work any better if you switch the controller to compat/legacy mode?

I only have network and remote reset possibility and to boot from a
network rescue system, so sorry, can't test that.

I will try to get some kernel messages and also check if the latest
hackery kernel boots.

Actually, the kernel to test is xen-tip/next. That's going to be the base for ongoing development, and I'll cull all the rest of the branches once all their nutritious changesets have been extracted. Oh, and it actually works.
