Without logs, hard to guess. It would be interesting to get a serial
cable, or try with netconsole (see ijc' s blog for instance:
http://www.hellion.org.uk/blog/posts/debugging-initramfs-over-netconsole/). If
the system boots far enough to write logs on the hard drive, you may
remove the drive from the ts119 (if possible) and mount it with a usb
adapter.
It can be a problem with fuse or with something else... like
network-manager. I'm thinking of it as it has high chances to get pulled
by gnome stuff and you don't have any dhcp request. Of course, the
problem may be elsewhere.
