Same for me, except that for a few weeks now I'm basically stuck in a
non-booting mood. One out of roughly 20 tries boots indeed; all the
other stop in various places in init/main.c. Not even going into xmon...

Since it doesn't seem to be a reproducible crash in one specific place,
its rather hard to isolate the problem. I feel like chasing ghosts...
Anybody got Ghostbusters' phone?
