You could try to ssh into it to find out. Speaking of hangs, your GPU
locks up even before X starts, as can be seen from the kernel logs:

Could you test a newer kernel, say 2.6.37-rc7 from experimental? Note
that the squeeze version of xserver-xorg-video-nouveau does not work
with kernels later than 2.6.33, so you need to install that from
experimental as well, or make do with the xserver-xorg-video-fbdev
driver.
