installing nautilus on my TS119PII+ running wheezy breaks booting



Hi, 

during the last couple of days something strange happened with my TS119PII+ after
the last update of wheezy: It did not boot anymore. I could hear that the harddrive 
was being accessed, but after maybe 15 seconds the activity stopped, the status light kept 
blinking red/green and no network access was possible. The DHCP server was not asked
for an IP address.

At 1st I thought it was a bad flash, so I flashed the installer with TFTP and 
installed from scratch, this time creating a proper recovery image every time the 
kernel was updated. Then after having installed all my services (apache, exim, sabnzb
and transmission) I rebooted and the machine came up as expected.
Then I installed nautilus (apt-get install nautilus), the flash was updated (fuse & 
ntfs-3g), I tried rebooting, but the machine hangs as described.
So I reflashed via TFTP my last known working flash image...
Still no successful boot. The same problem with earlier working images.

So, since I could not find anything via google about this problem, I wonder if 
anybody else is having a similar problem.
>From the fact that the boot image does not matter, I guess the problem is on the harddrive.
Unfortunately this all happens before anything can be logged or seen via the network.

Does somebody dare to test with his/her machine?
The same happens by installing xfce or midori, but not when installing xauth. So I
would search around the xservers, but unfortunately I don't have a console cable and
the machine is my 24/7 running work horse.

Any ideas to solve that problem?
