Hi, guys,
I've just started playing with LinuxBIOS on the IWill DK8-HTX with a PathScale InfiniPath HTX card in the HTX slot. Long story short: boots with HTX card unplugged, hangs early in boot with it plugged in. Same for both r2520 (head today) and r2481. The latter is the supposedly known-working here: http://linuxbios.eu/DK8HTX_Build_Tutorial
Same behavior on multiple machines, one of which has been in realiable service with LB sans HTX card for a few days, so I suspect it's not a problem of hardware flakiness.
Before I dive in and try to track it down (perhaps on Wednesday), does anybody know of something obvious I need to do/hardcode/whatever to use the HTX slot?
Thanks for any insight you may have!

With the InfiniPath HTX card installed, hangs very early:
