> At boot time the kernel prints the following error message:

The BIOS for some reason didn't assign resources to the IDE DMA base
register, which should not be fatal in itself (it'll switch th PIO
modes)
> After a while it also complains about USB devices:
> usb 3-2: device not accepting address 2, error -71
Thats usually IRQ routing problems

Your disk on hde went for a walk.
Can you send me an lspci -vvxxx for both kernels please, and a dmesg (off
