I've no idea whether the problem is hardware or software. What I am sure of though is if the BIOS and old driver work we should be able to make the new one work. My first guess is still a driver bug, and second some kind of probing interaction. BIOSen usually use Hal's code so we've got a fair idea of what the BIOS will do.
