This was encountered on a DIFFERENT kernel from the one it was reported under. After upgrading to narwal attempting to boot freezes up. When run under recovery mode the last lines printed before it stops doing anything are:

Same thing is happening to my HP mini 5102.
I just updated it (today), not sure when it was updated earlier, within 6-10 days.
Alhtough I may have restarted it few times without problems after updates, not sure though.
Last line for me is:
Begin: Running /scripts/
After that display mode (resolution) is changed, then nothing happens.
