The one and only... I had hoped it did. Poking around the archives
showed a few cases with strong similarities, but I really think the
majority are dodgy hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if my own Multia
problems were hardware as well. At least in regards to the spontaneous
reboots.
As for the dec_axppci_33 messages, booting verbose does in fact show the
detection of a bogus phantom device for each pin 30 message. I don't
think this is flaky hardware as much as it is a Multia-specific quirk. It
happens on both of mine, and I remember seeing a message from Mike Smith
that it happens on his too. (Sorry, Mike, if I'm misremembering)

PS: I'll post a dmesg with the bogus probe info as soon as I get my box
back in shape.
