This looks like it's actually a userland issue in lrm-manager. The system comes up OK if I disable /etc/init.d/linux-restricted-modules-common, and I can see it go into an infinite loop when I run it manually thereafter.

The fact that lrm-manager spins this way does block the entire boot, though, so this is still a serious issue. I don't know what it is about 2.6.27 which triggers this. I'm attaching a sh -x trace showing the loop; it continues indefinitely in a similar pattern and never exits.
