I'm glad it's getting better.  Your e820 doesn't look right, though.

[    0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f400 (usable)
[    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 000000000009f400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
[    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
[    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000002ffef000 (usable)

[    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved)

Your devices have resources mapped from c0000000-e0000000 that don't show
up.  I can't remember where it would get that value from, but I think it is
worth looking into.

Thanks,
Myles
