Your log file has a couple of extra lines that mine doesn't.  I don't
know how to remove them but if you can figure that out, you might be on
the way to solving your problem.  Or not.

I'm using a Compaq Evo N800c, which is also made by HP these days, so
hopefully this will help.

we do not see the one which has opened for us.
