Eventually I had to cold reboot, and it wouldn't load the kernel at subsequent boots. Back to 3.4 and working fine. I burned another set of CDs thinking it was bad media, but with the same results.

When you say won't load the kernel, do you mean GRUB locks up or something of that nature (ie bad install), or the kernel is initially loaded by GRUB, and then locks up part way through the boot procedure?

If it's the latter, Google around for your motherboard/laptop - the new 2.6 kernel may need a "noapic", "noacpi", "acpi=off" or somesuch parameter. Lots of stuff changed down deep in kernel-land.
