So you are saying that

which is the last code changing commit before the 2.6.31 release is
booting fine, but with the release commit which merily changes the
Makefile it is not ?

Sure, but I hope we agree that it does not make much sense to search
2.6.31..now when we already know that 2.6.31 is not booting and the
change which causes the problem is between 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.
