The second commit should fix the issue for you. It's been reported to do so by several users already.

I saw kernel 2.6.34-11 being built and found that Build0685 worked now again.

serial console capture 7

I have just installed and booted from kotd 2.6.35-rc3-0.0.6.a7e9880-desktop, see console log.  I must be missing something, but what?
Comment 7 Stephan Kulow 2010-06-25 07:51:32 UTC 
this bug is not about 2.6.35-rc3 but about 11.3's 2.6.34

But is the very same bug which Jeff fixed in both master and 11.3 kernels. But obviously master (2.6.35) wasn't built with that fix yet.
