I've found a kernel 3.0.0 able to boot for my architecture, (sorry but I had no time to adapt "sid" or "experimental" kernel to my arch.) It's
linux-image-3.0.0-voyage_10.0-1_i386.deb <http://mirror.voyage.hk/dists/0.8/linux/linux-image-3.0.0-voyage_10.0-1_i386.deb> Well, it doesn't show anymore the noise calibration failure/timeout. If you need me to collect more info let me know how to proceed: I really would like to see this fix into Squeeze/stable. Thanks!
