Replying direct as I can't normally post to the list due to the 
greylisting in use.

I would make a guess that this is the Intel Memory Reference Code (MRC) 
as that would most likely be common between the two boards. 
Unfortunately I do not have access to the code in question to tell you 
what is going on and even if I did I probably would not be allowed to.

If this happens without SerialICE then I would hazard a guess that it 
does not like the memory that is fitted, are you sure you have correct 
memory for each board?
If it only happens with SerialICE then you probably need to adjust what 
accesses go where and when so that the MRC will be able to correctly 
complete by accessing the platform RAM before switching memory accesses 
to QEMU RAM for speed later.
