As it turned out, Debian bug number 736892 was an unrelated problem.
My real problem was faulty memory (RAM). Ben, I know

as opposed to letting a timeout occur and letting the default kernel
boot via a timeout. I don't know why that matters, but that has been
my experience.
I will be more than happy to assist in debugging this.

There is a legitimate bug in the parse_numeric function which has

me that this proposed patch fixes that problem. But adding su
