I have experimented with Linux 3.3.0-rc1-00080-g16111ea, which is a merge of:

* yinghai's usb_smi_disable_early branch with HEAD = a3a6c096
* linus's master branch with HEAD = 4a7cbb56

I have booted the kernel as above, configured, as Yinghai asked, with
OHCI disabled, but no other changes from the previous times.  I
registered in video two boots with only a slight change in options
passed to the kernel, with:

1 - http://youtu.be/fKYubKaNhuc being with options
    `acpi=off pnpbios=off noapic debug ignore_loglevel pci=earlydump
boot_delay=10`

2 - http://youtu.be/Gll9RLfXS_c being with options
    `acpi=off pnpbios=off noapic debug ignore_loglevel pci=earlydump
nopat boot_delay=10`

The only change is the `nopat` option, as suggested by Yinghai.

As you can see in the two videos, some things seem to have progressed:
the kernel actually gets to boot, gets to mount/load the initramfs,
passes things to init and, when it is loading things, I get a hang
with a messed screen, as before.

Among other things, one thing took my attention, which were some messages like:

    ACPI Exception: AE_BAD_PARAMETER, Thread 9340 could not acquire
Mutex [0x1] (20120111/utmutex-276)

which seems strange, particularly as I passed the option `acpi=off` to
my kernel.

I don't know if that's a red herring or not. I can perform other
tests, of course.


Thanks as usual,
