Commit dc22ee6fc18ce0f15424e753e8473c306ece95c1 in 3.2-rc1 causes the KMS to fail on the Zenbook graphics. 3.2-rc1 to 3.2-rc5 will therefore not boot without supplying kernel parameter i915.modeset=0, in which mode hardware acceleration is disabled.

Status: Solved in 3.2-rc6 with commit ed4a51842a9d9e618d4f4c31349b15b974dba5df

This is looks like to similar issue, but simptoms the same on fresh newer kernels from Mainline PPA (for example, on 3.4)
