Public bug reported: No kernel after 2.6.31-14 will load properly, at least not consistently. Booting stops at usplash logo, with no drive activity evident.
If there is a kernel update, or sometimes another package like a recent linux-firmware update, I will get one or two successful boot sessions from the newer kernel (currently 2.6.31-19.56). Then, invariably, it starts failing again, and I am forced to regress to 2.6.31-14 (I edit my menu.list boot options). I am on Koala, fully updated, so far as I can tell.
