Jonathan,I have good news. Debian Linux works perfectly with the 3.5.5 kernel! I've tried with 6 and 8 vcpus and 8GB of RAM assigned to the VM and it boot up very fast without incident every time I've tried.
Please let me know how do you want me to proceed. Should we try to find out why this kernel works with more than 4 vcpus while the 2.6.32 kernel (and 3.2 from backports) does not? Or should I just try to use the 3.5.5 kernel in production environment - I know it is not recommended as the latest kernel is not well tested... What do you recommend?

It requires linux-base and initramfs-tools from sid or squeeze-backports. Thanks, Jonathan
