Comment 56 for bug 125832

Kernel freezes 1/3 through boot on my Toshiba Satellite 4600 with unlucky kernel -13 Ok with the previous kernel, except for the missing wireless driver. Booting the -13 rescue from the grub menu freezes with a register dump - would this be in a log file anywhere so I could post it?

Also freezes on my generic old P3-800/512 Ram system with a linksys USB wireless card. Two other PCs (one P3, one P4 and Amd-64) are ok with the new kernel. The need for a wireless driver seems to be the common factor between the laptop and the other PC that borked in exactly the same manner. Confirmed that both hung PCs boot ok when I step back to the last working kernel.

Looks like anybody else hitting this bug can recover by hitting <ESC> quickly and booting the previous working kernel from the grub menu. The 2.6.22-13 kernel barfs on on affected systems even in rescue mode, you have to step back to the last kernel.
