Sadly I don't know what happened, but the following commands successfully elided the noisy boot I was experiencing: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64 sudo aptitude reinstall grub-common grub-pc grub2-common As for the hang on system reboot, I found a fix which I'll document here for the benefit of others: The Arch Linux Wiki said "This is a problem on many laptops and can be fixed by blacklisting the e1000e kernel module."[1] I did this: sudo echo "blacklist e1000e" > /etc/modules.d/e100e.conf sudo rmmod e1000e sudo reboot And the problem is fixed! The e1000e module was not used by any other modules according to the output of lsmod either.
