I cannot reinstall the system using the iso images as I have data I do not want to delete on this machine.
I did intall the linux-image-3.4.0-999-generic_3.4.0-999.201204150427_i386.deb + headers and the booting problem persists.
- It stops at the same place as the previously attached jpeg shows.
   I have to power off the machine in order to get it to work again crtl+alt+del does nothing.

I think the developer have to investigate this firewire "set link power level" problem.
The problem must have been introduced after 3.0.0-17 and at latest 3.2.0-23 since the problem can be reproduced in 3.2.0-23 and above.

I tried doing the apport thingy but it threw an error in the process so Im not sure all data got attached.
