Ok.  First, would it be possible for you to reproduce /all/ the kernel
output prior to this boot failure (or at least, all that's visible on the
screen at the point of the hang)?  The output you've quoted is much less
than a screenful; is that really all that was output by the kernel prior to
the hang?

Second, if you can email me the broken initramfs image, I can put it up on a
webserver for others to examine, in addition to poking at it myself. 
(Emailing to the BTS seems like a bad idea, given that it's a 1MB+ file.)

Thanks,
