It appears that if you disable USB in the BIOS, a verbose boot into the 4.4 install kernel will hang immediately after the following message: isa_probe_children: probing PnP devices The BIOS Geometries section never gets displayed. Soren, I apologise for thinking it was an ata driver issue. The hang between atapci0 and ata0 probe messages made me think there was one. It seems I was much mistaken. I can live with having USB enabled - I'm not running short of IRQs - yet!
