A maybe unrelated success report: I've managed to boot a -12er kernel while I've been unable to since -6. I've had the fix above applied and also changed the root= entry in grub from /dev/sda1 to /dev/hda1. Somehow, UUID didn't work, don't ask me why, but anyway: I'm running a current feisty kernel. However, I'm not sure this is the same bug, since I don't remember waiting long enough to see a modprobe error message, but maybe this helps someone.
