Reassigning to the right package. While you're seeing this during d-i, the problem is clearly coming from the Linux kernel.

The m400 sleds are getting quite old, and AIUI they're basically EOL in terms of firmware support etc. I've got some Mustang (X-Gene 1) machines here, which are the same core APM hardware but packaged on standard motherboard (mini-itx I think?). I'm just trying a bullseye update on one now.
