Would you be willing to bisect?

Like so:

	git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
	cd linux-2.6
	make localmodconfig

	git bisect start
	git bisect good v2.6.32
	git bisect bad v2.6.37
	make -j2 deb-pkg
	... wait for it to build, install the resulting package, reboot ...

	git bisect good; # if it worked okay, or
	git bisect bad; # if it overheated, or
	git bisect skip; # if an unrelated problem made it difficult to test

	make -j2 deb-pkg
	... and so on

Once we know which is the first bad commit, this should be much easier
to track down.

Thanks!
Jonathan
