Thanks. It looks like a bisection might indeed be the way to go...

Out of curiosity, have you tried without some of your additional drivers ?
Maybe one of them is the culprit...

Cheers,

Not yet, will do.
But I tested the official Debian Wheezy RC netinstall CD with Linux 3.2,
it has the same problem and hangs at boot on my machine.

Ok, so it's definitely something about your configuration. Maybe
something in the 11,2 support code chokes on single-chip configs, I
don't have one of them to test, both mines are dual chip (ie. quad
core).

But it does look like a regression that should be bisectable, so let me
know went you're done there and what you get.

Cheers,
Ben.
