Bug#748805: Hangs for me on bare hardware

I have been running Linux 3.13-0.bpo.1-amd64 for a few days, without problems.

I let aptitude upgrade me to Linux 3.14-0.bpo.1.-amd64, and now the machine hangs during boot. (This is on bare hardware Toshiba laptop).

I see these lines on the screen:

> early console in decompress_kernel

> Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done

> Booting the kernel.

and then it hangs. There is nothing written to any logfiles from this aborted boot.

Luckily grub lets me boot into 3.13-0.bpo1-amd64, which still seems to work OK.

Please let me know if I can provide any other information ?
