Mine does have the larger disk (256GB), otherwise they should be identical.

I've got an ancient kernel config that has been culted along for several

Of course I'd be willing to do whatever tests someone would like to
suggest; just that I don't know how to get a netconsole on this machine,
which makes it pretty hard to figure anything out before the screen
lights up.
