Thank you. If, as per my last post, the offending commit is instead
about i387, my guess would be that the kernel hangs immediately, way
before init'ing the NIC.
The machine is rather old, but if it has sufficient NVRAM, is there a
way to log failures (perhaps via grub) to there, and then retrieve them
when booting a known good kernel?
Best,
Sune
