Umm. I didn't say to swap components around, but to _systematically_
swap them around. BIG difference.
To make this work, you also need to ensure the mainboards are exact same
revision, have same BIOS, and bios is set to factory defaults.
If this is done properly, you can not only pinpoint faulty hardware but
faulty interaction between components.

Much easier to troubleshoot hardware than monkeying about with kernels
and associated modules.
