Alan, for me it is even more difficult because I really do not know what are the hardware details about nor what is an OS kernel. I really wanted you pickup anything you see broken in the collected data and we work on those bug separately. But I am not able to judge what if broken and what is not. But I believe you could always say: Hey, if the eSATA or Firewire is USB-based (unlike PCIe based) it would have to use usb-storage and blah. I think you can try to come up with answer why USB-related changes disable PCI Express Root port or whether that was the 'nousb' outcome. I doubt PCI people will dive into that area. ;) But thank you for your time on this.
