Duh! I should have realized this earlier. The problem is devfs, which both benh and I have enabled by default, and apparently Jonas does as well. You have three choices. Add 'devfs=nomount' to the append= options for these kernels, or rebuild without devfs support, or do 'apt-get install devfsd' (assuming you're running testing/sid).
