Reposted as a kernel bug by request:
Seems to be related to bug #125832, in that it only affects the two machines that needed wireless drivers, and not the three others I installed the new kernel on.

Kernel freezes 1/3 through boot on my Toshiba Satellite 4600 with
kernel -13 Ok with the previous kernel, except for the missing
wireless driver. Booting the -13 rescue from the grub menu freezes with
a register dump - would this be in a log file anywhere so I could post
it?

Also freezes on my generic old P3-800/512 Ram system with a linksys USB
wireless card. Two other PCs (one P3, one P4 and Amd-64) are ok with
the new kernel. The need for a wireless driver seems to be the common
factor between the laptop and the other PC that borked in exactly the
same manner. Confirmed that both hung PCs boot ok when I step back to
the last working kernel, which was in one of the two cases 2.6.22-12.
The 2.6.22-13 kernel barfs on on affected systems even in rescue mode, you
have to step back to the last kernel.

I will post the results of the tests you requested from the other tester this evening.
