Actually, after a few more tests I can safely say that the following
behaviour occurs EVERY time:
1) Hard Boot system with 3.0 kernel, ed0: device timeout
2) Hard Boot system with 2.2.2 kernel, ed0 works (but of course, the
OS doesn't load because of version incompatabilities)
3) *soft* boot (just reset) into 3.0 kernel, ed0 WORKS??
Because of this behaviour, I'm assuming the 2.2.2 kernel is doing
something (initializing in some way?) which the 3.0 kernel isn't, and
which is sticking around with the soft boot...
