Since 4.6 will run on one machine and not the other, I did run diff
on the dmesg outputs.
The *only* difference was a BIOS line:
Machine that works:
bios0: IBM -[8673000]-
Machine that fails:
bios0: IBM -[867382X]-
They are both 8673-82X machines and I can't see this being an issue,
but I dont know. I think the motherboard was swapped out at some point
and likely lost the suffix part.
I could try a snapshot. I have nothing to loose, but since the release
works on one machine and they are virtually identical, I'm not sure.
Any other OS works on the weird machine.
