A big "Thanks" to everyone here, plus the upstream people who've looked at this.

Unfortunately I'm unable to confirm the fix as yet.
I'm trying the Xubuntu Jaunty Alpha 4 LiveCD i386 ISO from here:-
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/jaunty/alpha-4/

However, boot fails at the line:-
iTCO_wdt: Found a ICH4 TCO device (Version=1, TCOBASE=0xe460)

The next line which should appear is:-
iTCO_wdt: initialized. heartbeat=30 sec (nowayout=0)
but it hangs instead.
This is just after shpchp is started and just before some ACPI detection. Disabling ACPI and other tricks like safe graphics mode aren't helping. Should I report this somewhere as a bug?

[Incidentally, the xserver version in that ISO is 1.5.99.902. I assume this is for neat numbering in the final release and the code is effectively v1.6.0.]

Cheers.
