Sorry, I didn't seem to get the reply to this... Doesn't the BTS

I don't understand what you mean? How do I copy the console output
once it scrolls past the scrollback buffer?
Also, device mapper was just a hunch. Now I don't think device mapper
has anything to do with it: The latest output is this on the 2.6.25-6
machine built from debian sources:

The other machine also pauses somewhere around those USB messages.
I'm wondering if its the CONFIG_USB_PERSIST I have set on both
machines. It appeared about when I first came across this problem,
but I'm not in a position right now to reboot either machine and test.

Again, I'm not sure I know what you mean. initramfs-tools is just
brought in by the debian linux image packages, and I haven't noticed
any output it makes that is different compared to booting an upstream
kernel.
