Perhaps if you could provide a diff of computer1:/usr/src/linux/.config
against computer2:/usr/src/linux/.config, as well as a diff of
computer1:`dmesg` against computer2:`dmesg` (each taken shortly after
booting, preferably; it's the boot messages themselves that I'm after
here), there might be something for us to go on. This certainly isn't
going to be an easy one to solve, and having as much information
as possible will no doubt help ... If you can think of additional
comparisons to provide, by all means please feel free ...
