    Not sure what you mean here, but by default, 'failsafe' boots exactly the same
    kernel, with exactly the same initrd as the default, only with a few
    parameters that make it more likely to boot properly in situations where for
    example acpi makes it fail

    Are you absolutely certain you haven't had a recent kernel update? There has
    been some kernel bugs lately. Try creating a new initrd, just for the hell of
    it and see what happens
