Found a work-around :
   Disable the firewire module from loading during boot.

edit:
   /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire.conf

uncommented the line:
   blacklist firewire-ohci

Run:
   sudo update-initramfs -k all -u

Im now able to boot the release kernel 3.2.0-24 without any problem only downside is no firewire support.

I've now proven that its a firewire bug or very closely related to firewire.
Also proven that the bug appeared between kernel 3.0.0-17+ and 3.1.0-1.
