My kernel log stops then as well.

Just to be clear, you've rebuilt the wheezy1 and sid versions multiple time as well? I suppose something, probably an initscript, is getting blocked somewhere. The easiest way to diagnose this would be to acquire/build a serial console connector as described in http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-41x/serial.html FWIW I bought http://proto-pic.co.uk/rs232-shifter-smd/ and http://proto-pic.co.uk/jst-jumper-4-wire-assembly/ but never got round to actually building it. I suppose there might be something visible in /var/log after you recover from a failed boot, worth having a scrobble around at least. You could try the /dev/kmsg trick e.g. at the top of /etc/init.d/rc but I wouldn't be 100% confident of it working and if it break things it won't be recoverable with a recovery image (sine it is on the disk not flash), in which case you would need to use d-i as a rescue disk or put the disk in another system. > * should udev start before qcontrol and should evdev.ko be in the > modules list? or does qcontrol switch the watchdog off w/o it? it > seems like it works without it... evdev.ko is only needed to handle button presses, the watchdog functionality works without it.
