My hardest bug ever was also hardware related.
Back in 1998, I was working on a game called "Trucks".
When playing with the network, I noticed that the game was sometimes desynchronized.
To understand the problem, I had to save tons of logs and manually compared them, in order to find what happened.
After a large effort, I discovered that some floating-point values were different.
Then, I realized that some of our computers were Pentium with the FDIV bug.
