I have a Xeon E3 1230 system which is having the same problems as Issue #1 and/or #4.

In an effort to get it running, I disabled VT-d in the BIOS (Intel S1200BTL motherboard) and tried again. This time there was a kernel panic which saved a dump to disk. I took a photo of the stack trace on the screen, which can be seen here: http://s895.photobucket.com/albums/ac156/matt_connolly/?action=view¤t=crashstacktrace.jpg

I'm just writing this one up in case it's a different issue from #1 and #4. Apologies for the duplicate it if turns out to be the same.

And, of course, I'm happy to help out building and testing a patched version.
