I managed to boot that 2.6.30-rc5 kernel with systems with have got this tv card:

05:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 [1131:7146] (rev 01)

I looked deeply at what was happening before the crash and found out that s626 crashed the system, this is something new in stageing can can be disabled (disable CONFIG_COMEDI to get completely rid of it). But on one system the boottime is about 30s longer than expected, in dmesg

[ 5.035243] usbhid: v2.6:USB HID core driver
[ 34.349483] EXT4-fs: barriers enabled

Something weird seem to happen between those entries.
