Interesting.  Those changes are just before the /dev/pts changes that a lot of 
people are currently blaming for amd64 instability.  It looks like 8:14am 
your time is 6:14pm PST?
well, I don't know where's that 8:14am located, but I'm PST (GMT-8)... I didn't understand that though... amd64 is pretty stable, at least in my experience... and it's after those changes that it got screwed up.  Even more, IIRC, when I compiled GENERIC after that time, it would boot, but the second SATA drive would not be detected at all.  Using a previous kernel, everything works smoothly.
