Did you try to start in runlevel 1 (i.e "recovery mode")?
What happens when you "fsck" your partition? 
Your problem might be the next script (in /etc/rcS.d/).

I doubt it would change anything, but did you try -486 kernel?

Well, as a workaround, you could write a perl script to run with sudo.


Regarding your bugs:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528746
-> not supported by developers, because the client OS isn't 
   supported anymore.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=523780
-> You could ask the maintainers if they need more information on this
   bug. You could describe the other scenario that you have tested:
   Which other kernel you tried? Do you have the problem with other 
   client computer (running a recent version of windows)? What does
   "mount | grep /mnt" shows?

Hope this helps,
