Richard,
I originally posted two serial captures from a "good" lb boot, and one where it crashes. I hadn't realized it at the time, but the block of hex numbers at the top of each is a dump of the northbridge configuration space. They are identical. Going on the assumption that if the PCI configurations are the same, then the chip must be configured correctly, I must assume that the problem lies with the south bridge ... Or am I way off?
Unfortunately, LB doesn't dump the south bridge to serial -- I'm working on changing that =)

suggested that there are chipset registers that are reset by the factory BIOS that LB isn't (re)setting correctly, and that LB works well right after using the factory BIOS because those registers hold their values for a while.
Do a 'lspci -xxx' diff on the north and southbridges beween factory and LB and investigate all the differences.
