@ Maroony, will try that later, but first:
I have tracked down the source of my system not booting and the kernel panics:
the asus-wmi patch (
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1315719)
When I boot, the process hangs forever in the dotted ubuntu splash. When I boot in recovery mode however, and then choose 'resume boot' everything works fine. This might have to do with some race condition occuring, but thats up to the programmers
When I booted through the recovery mode method the asus-wmi module works (I can use the functionbuttons) but for some reason this also prevents DRM from properly loading, and thus /sys/class/drm/ is not populated, which in turn means you can not use external monitors, waking from suspend does not work (screen stays black, with no way to turn it back on) and setting the brightness of the screen is not possible through the gnome-settings or xbacklight/xrandr. The intel_backlight utility hoewever still works.
I am booting from an SSD so people using the HDD as root might not have this problem. If you want to remove the patched asus-wmi module, run the following:
Code:
sudo dkms remove asus-wmi/999.01 --all
I added some entries to the wiki:

Furthermore: also see my entry on nomodeset, when I boot using nomodeset I get exactly the same issues as described above. I also updated the wiki about it:
