I finally installed wheezy by default on the laptop... it ended up
being rather hard...
Anyways the problem is back. I don't know what change in the Usb
images I tested days ago may have resulted in a fix.

I've tested the most recent Debian kernel -> basically 3.2.5 and also 3.3.0-rc3
Both throw the same error. I'm attaching dmesg from 3.3.0-rc3, but
there's absolutely no new information.
Should I enable the debugging symbols to test if there's more output?
my build had them disabled, otherwise the kernel image was huge.
