I will find out. My best guess right now is that booting 3.7.0 is what clobbered things; whether I added a option which loaded bad firmware, or 3.7.0 is broken, I have no idea. It could well be something unrelated to 3.7.0. My goal for today is to try to get keyboard and disk working, then boot with 3.6.8. Whatever you think of logic, it is entirely illogical that a kernel could kill your BIOS, or any hardware ... at least, just booting into it. The southbridge is a good thing to look at, esp for a burned spot/pit.
