Very strange, but we migyt need a more detail here. Do these machines boot at all, or does it take 10 power cycles to get them to POST? Can they boot any other systems? I'm using a BP6 board w. two celeron 533 MHz, and would *not* want it to stop booting after moving from 4.1-STABLE to 4.2-STABLE (the plan right now). Also, could you extract dmesg, kernel configs and so on? -- Cheers!
