http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ has kernels tagged precise and oneric. Am I correct in understanding that you want me to test -precise kernels? 3.2 or 3.2.2 or all of them?

Meanwhile I've upgraded to 3.0.0-15 through regular channels and it changed behavior somewhat: now my system refuses to boot completely (6 times in a row): after the grub screen goes black with cursor blinking in the top left corner and that's it. BUT booting into a recovery mode with the same kernel works fine - I just select continue booting when I get to a prompt and boot wiht no further mishaps (2 out of 2).

And it looks like I was incorrect in suspecting Marvell SATA controller - disabling it in the BIOS doesn't change a thing. BTW system is not overclocked yet - runs with all default settings.
