[LinuxBIOS] DK8-HTX Early Hang with HTX Card Intsalled

Hi, guys,

I've just started playing with LinuxBIOS on the IWill DK8-HTX with a
PathScale InfiniPath HTX card in the HTX slot.  Long story short:
boots with HTX card unplugged, hangs early in boot with it plugged in.
Same for both r2520 (head today) and r2481.  The latter is the
supposedly known-working here:
  http://linuxbios.eu/DK8HTX_Build_Tutorial

Same behavior on multiple machines, one of which has been in realiable
service with LB sans HTX card for a few days, so I suspect it's not a
problem of hardware flakiness.

Before I dive in and try to track it down (perhaps on Wednesday), does
anybody know of something obvious I need to do/hardcode/whatever to
use the HTX slot?

Thanks for any insight you may have!

With the InfiniPath HTX card installed, hangs very early:
