Uhm, I miss the vital parts though, but I think I can glean most of what =

I wanted, could you supply me with the output of pciconf -l ? (that can=20
be from the 5.2.1 kernel)..

Yeah use a serial console, its in the handbook IIRC...

The system in question is one of those small-form-factor cubes from iDeq,=
 with the SiS 651 B/962 chipset.

No no, not in the BIOS, that wont change anything, you should boot=20
without them (you can choose so in the little menu before the kernel=20
boots)..

Also from the old dmesg I see you have atapicam in there, please remove=20
that so we can get that out of the equation for the hang...
