Updating the firmware didn't help. I generated a NMI and have the
debugger running. Apparently it's stuck in DELAY; the trace (transcribed
by hand) is:

DELAY()
vpd_nextbyte()
pci_read_device()
pci_add_children()
acpi_pci_attach()
device_attach()
bus_generic_attach()
acpi_pcib_attach()
acpi_pcib_pci_attach()
device_attach()
bus_generic_attach()
...

this stack goes on... note repetition of device_attach in the stack,
it's repeated at least three more times. I don't know if this is normal.

Any suggestion what to do while in the debugger?
