Hi,

I had the same problem this weekend and I also checked various configurations,
but actually this is a problem with binutils_2.19.51.20090714-1.

I found the following bug report for binutils which exactly described my problem:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=537389

I downgraded binutils to the testing version (binutils_2.19.1-1) and the kernel
booted without any problems. I did this for 2 other machines and they all
rebooted with the sid version and they all booted fine with the testing version.
