The problem persists of halting boot on firewire initialization.

 It appears from the package description that the kernel is 64 bit
(Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP )

But my machine is a Intel Duo T2300 (32-bit) which should then be a
 Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP .

- How did a 64 bit kernel get onto my 32 bit system - serious problem or wrong package description ?!.

The 3.0.0.17 kernel im running on now is 32/64 bit according to the description
(Linux kernel image for version 3.0.0 on x86/x86_64)
but no SMP in the description though both processors are utilized.
