The particular case which faces me at the moment may be faulty
hardware, incorrect interrupt routing, conflicting interrupts
or possibly none of the above.  However it will aid greatly in
discovering what is going on if I can (a) determine exactly what
will happen when at boot time and (b) see debug output in the
logs as a time series and not one big pile of jumbled messages:
