I wonder though whether the kernel is actually booting but the serial
console output has stopped.  Have you tried pinging the machine's IP after
a few mins?

I pushed out Linux 3.2.5 yesterday to -current.  Does this work?

The same problem is reported here though:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658759:

Have a read through that - there's a link to an u-boot patch.
The suggestion is that a kernel change has exposed a bug in the u-boot on
the guruplugs.  Although as I said, the same Kernel runs perfectly on my
Sheevas and OpenRD client; but IIRC the u-boot for guruplugs was never
really robust.
