I installed wheezy-beta3-amd64 using CD1 on a machine with a NV GTS 450 card. The kernel failed to boot stopping at populating /dev.
With the same installation, if I move the hard disk to another computer with a NV GTX 460 card, the system works well and starts GNOME 3. I think this is a bug of the kernel or the package nouveau, because the system can boot up with GTS 450 if I upgrade the kernel to version 3.4-trunk or higher. Another way to make the system boot up with kernel 3.2 on GTS 450 is to install the adapter driver from NVIDIA. The attachment is the photo taken at the instance the boot progress stopped. Hope it can provide useful information. I am glad to do more tests to collect more information if needed. [image: Inline image 1]
