I've been having the same problem for weeks on my Sony Vaio Z505RX,
and recently reproduced it on my K6 300. Changing -O2 to -O doesn't
help. The spinner freezes (sometimes on "/", but not always), but
the system still seems to boot without displaying anything on the
console. The disk spins as if fsck is running, but the system is
essentially unusable. It's almost as if the console is not being
detected.
This problem began after Peter Wemm's config changes. Both my own
kernel configuration nor GENERIC behave similarly. New boot blocks
did not help for either of my systems.
