The pci=nomsi helped a lot.

I have booting (at least almost)

Again two logs attached. This time the without nosmp does better.

Gets to a checking battery state line then it seems to stop.

The nosmp does the same as last time, a initramfs prompt followed by
ATA trying...

I will try to disable some of the init scripts or try single user mode to
see if I can get a normal prompt.

Might not have much time to work on it over the next couple days...

Cheers,
Todd
