I can easily reproduce the problem in 2.6.22-rc4. There are no

Ugh.
Reverting Tejun's patch also fixed my boot failure.

The problem is that the controller can't be initialized properly, so
the kernel keeps trying every 5 seconds. I gave up after about five
failures. If the actual boot error messages would help I'll need to
copy them by hand -- just say the word.
