I am getting output over the console (via ipmi) until the boot hangs.
Yeah, probably the device actually decodes io address access anyway,
but in the disabled state probably has not routed IRQ.
I have no idea how to help you with the bios, sorry.
I'd look out for serial port, Super-I/O or COM1 port (which is how PC-DOS
named the device some 35 years ago) settings rather than anything to do
with PNP. Typically you'd be able to choose from a few classic combined
I/O space address and IRQ assignments in addition to a `Disabled' setting.
There might be a genuine BIOS bug there as well of course as serial ports
seem to be less used these days and the issue may have escaped validation.

Given they hid some of the setting in the bios to keep these boxes
uniform I will have to talk with the bios guys more about that.
Last time they were certain it wasn't a big deal.
Thanks,
Nate
