I'm having very difficult time imagining how 22b737f4 could have
affected this as the patch is identical transformation of the previous
code. Also, 833af842 was released with 2.6.32 and stayed that way, so
it really looks like a memory overrun / random corruption thing. Can
you please retry with kmalloc debug stuff turned on?
With latest git (2.6.33-git11) the machine boots fine. So as you
mentioned this could be a memory overrun / random corruption issue.

I will try few more boots with latest / old git snapshots, and will
try to collect debug information on recreation.

Thanks
