qwerty, thanks for the hint. However I have a PATA disk, and it gets stuck during boot which should not be write-heavy...
I have now inserted "sleep 7" before and after launching gdm, and it helps. If it gets stuck now, it is a bit earlier, during module loading, typically the last message I see is about synaptics touchpad. I think I never experienced this issue after booting has finished. With the boot sequence being reordered a bit in Karmic, this is gonna be exciting^Wnerve-wrecking.
