I think I found the issue... I have a WD MyBook External FireWire hard drive (http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=224) hooked up to my machine. When it is plugged in the 2.6.20-3.4 kernel will not boot.
I unplugged it and I was able to boot with 2.6.20-3.4. When I plugged in the MyBook via FireWire while running 2.6.20-3.4 in GNOME the drive never turns on and never gets mounted. Usually the drive at least spins up but with 2.6.20-3.4 it seems the FireWire ports on my machine are not active at all. I have an ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Mobo. So the real issue seems to be FireWire not working for some reason (with at least this hardware combo) in 2.6.20-3.4. Please let me know if I can provide you with any info that might help track down the issue.
