Thank you for building the test kernel. I have tested remotely over ssh (I'm currently at home and the computer is at my workplace). After installing the test kernel, resetting the kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub, doing an update-grub and rebooting, I was able to reboot successfully 16 times.
To make sure that I still had problems rebooting this way with the old kernel, I removed the test kernel so that it would boot the normal karmic kernel 2.6.31-15-generic-pae. After the reboot into 2.6.31-15 the first reboot went fine, but the next time the computer did not come back online. Presumably frozen on reboot until I press the power button tomorrow morning.

Summary: The test kernel works :-)
