No help. Booting normally brings me to the same point - "ips0: resetting 
adapter, make take 5 minutes" - then nothing. System just hangs. Also, 
after that point, hitting the power button will not power-off the 
machine (of course, holding it in will). Anytime before that point, 
hitting the power button will turn the power off instantly.
