There's a few posts about it in the beta 2 thread, and mk01 mentioned it was something to do with a firmware change. I don't know exactly how the firmware is affecting it.

I want to use Turbo because I can..or could! It really does make a difference, and when running from USB the stability is great; who wouldn't want their pi to be sensibly controlling it's cpu for the most power possible?

Setting the values you mentioned in the config.txt results in the same issue - I assumed that to set turbo is more than just setting the overclock and overvolt, since it's a firmware feature of the pi itself, with temperature management etc.

I'm running rc1, without any packages from dev or staging.

Here's a dmesg from a successful boot - I don't know how to get a dmesg from the unsuccessful boot, there's no ssh access.
