Neither works for me, but there seems to be a different problem.
In both cases the last line printed is

  input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0

that is, the freeze happens much earlier (before initializing SCSI or
IDE), and in this case I can reboot using ctrl-alt-del.

I forgot to point out that I use the amd64 arch, not i386. Maybe this
mismatch is the problem this time? (I used --force-architecture to be
able to install the above packages, and I guess that's a bad idea in
general.)
