Bug#365859: found difference between boot logs of the two xserves

["Toni L. Harbaugh-Blackford [Contr]" <harbaugh@abcc.ncifcrf.gov>]

I found a difference between the boot logs of this xserve and the one
in Bug#365844.  For some reason, linux views this xserve as having
'via-pmu: Server Mode is disabled'

     # diff netinst20060503.log.node03 netinst20060503.log.node01
     22,23d21
     < speed=ffffffff 2 2 \
     < sbp2:Open ->login?
     25a24,25
     > speed=ffffffff 2 2 \
     > sbp2:Open ->login?

why would attaching a USB device turn change the behavior of the pmu?
