I tried both of those options and the output was similar, here is the output
with try_handoff set to 0. In both cases the box then hangs on initializing
pstore. Excuse my ignorance on understanding how having the Comtrol
card present would effect the USB handoff, but would there be any
value in trying to boot this box via UEFI, rather than via the BIOS? Does
UEFI handle the handoff differently?
