My crystal ball can't see the errors you are getting. Would you mind to
upload the system "complaints" to some site so we can check?

Don't let the name confuses you: kernel 3 is yet another 2.6.x. And a new
kernel version can always have unexpected results despite the branch

You better open a thread for each problem (USB, hard disk, network and
VGA) so they can be properly replied and archived.

I have not noticeable hardware problems with wheezy in my netbook (just
the wifi driver that is getting me nuts) but with newer hardware, you
know... the chances you can experience problems increase.

Yes, please and also the boot's log if you have a problem with botting
(you have to enable it first) :-)
