I tested your kernel
3.2.0-10 #17 kernel panic pid: 1, comm: init printk+0x2d/0x2f (1019.6 KiB, image/jpeg)
Robert, I tested your kernel. Unfortunately there’s little to report: here it still panics when bringing up X with -intel. Should I perhaps file a different bug about these?
I’ll attach a picture of the output. Looks like the freezing with just the mouse cursor occurs about 1/3 of boots, in 2/3 it manages to switch back to the logging terminal with the panic.
