This is possible when the freeze occurs at each boot. But in my case,
it seems to occur completely randomly (I would have thought more often
shortly after installing a new kernel, but I'm not sure), and not very
often.
I've removed the quiet option and rebooted a few times, but the
machine didn't freeze. I'll try a few more times. But I wonder
whether the freeze can occur without the quiet option (for instance,
configuring udev as verbose always resulted in a freeze).
