I may have spoken too soon, I think it might happen with the mainline. Unfortunately, I have installed a generic 2.6.36 as well, as Etienne Goyer suggested, and now I can't boot the machine. When I try to get to grub with ESC, it never happens, and the 2.6.36 kernel tries to start and fails (ahci controller reset failed, and more), then with modprobe problems, and I end up in busybox.
So, since grub is broken, I need to reinstall and it will be a while before I can verify. However, to repeat, I have one data point which suggests that the problem may have occurred on mainline and I missed it. I will let you know once my reinstall is over. ::sigh::
