That is exactly the same that happened on my desktop computer, but the other way around. I had to get the core developers to debug this issue and fix it. It is because of some oddball EEPROM issue.

I'd suggest building with DEBUG=intel:3 and serial, and then send off a bug report to the mailing-list with the details. Coming online and doing it on IRC is even better. I would also suggest you go through the driver test checklist on the wiki and report which tests fail and which pass.
