[Debian-eeepc-devel] single-user boot sometimes wedges eeepc

Say, from the grub menu
"Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.31-1-686"
"Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.31-1-686 (single-user mode)"
picking the latter sometimes results in a unreadable screen just after
the [5.000..] seconds boot message. Then only key that will do anything
after that is the silver power button, to poweroff and then to power on,
picking of course non-single-user mode this time.
here on my 702. ^D or entering the password don't do anything.
Maybe it's something in the verbose messages of single-user mode that
hits the screen to make it that way. Maybe something with some console-*
message... but of course no log files are left behind, as no disks are
probably mounted at that point.
