quite. Here are all the successfull bootups from my (failed) bisection 
attempt:

or, via git-describe:

v2.6.24-2392-g21af029

v2.6.24-3911-gc087567
v2.6.24-3913-gd4b37ff
v2.6.24-4464-gfde1b3f

i.e. vanilla v2.6.24 and a whole bunch of commits after it were booting 
just fine. (the problem might have been masked up to a certain point in 
theory, but given how resilient it is to offset changes in my testing i 
find that not very probable [but not impossible] )
