Just get multicolored nonsense; machine maybe hung

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:

[    6.998089] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:05.0: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon

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.
Ok, will do.
