Hi,
I recently made a huge mistake, which might help you...
I did a apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade my Sarge server to Etch, and all
seemed to go very well, but then I rebooted and Etch with the default 2.6.18
kernel could/would not find my two NICs. I then wiped everything and
installed Fedora Core 6, same problem (pretty much the same kernel I
believe), so I then re-installed Etch (from scratch) with still the same
problem, until I decided to turn off (disable) the Power Management in the
BIOS.
I think your problem was with bootup, but maybe this helps you out, if you
haven't already found a solution.

TBH, it doesn't appear that your machine is getting far enough into the
boot sequence for this to be an issue.
Having said that, I'm no expert, so don't quote me on it.
