Thanks for testing.  Drat.

Could you try a 3.x.y kernel from sid or experimental?  (The only
packages from outside squeeze that should be needed to do so are the
kernel image itself, linux-base, and initramfs-tools.)  If it
reproduces the problem, we can get help from upstream, and if it
doesn't, we can try some intermediate versions from
snapshot.debian.org to find a fix to try to apply to squeeze.

Sorry for the long silence.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
