Interesting. Current -git works for me on my 11" Macbook Air. Which
should be identical to yours. This is the 4GB RAM, 128GB disk version,
no?

But I'm running OpenSUSE, and you're running Debian, right? And our
kernel configs are probably wildly different, since I tend to try to
boot a fairly minimal set.

That said, if you've verified that if fails for you, I guess we should
revert regardless. Matt, any suggestions for tests to do?
