You have been subscribed to a public bug:

A routine system update of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to kernel 3.2.0-64 resulted
in unbootable system on two machines. Further testing revealed that
kernel fails while initializing HighPoint RocketU 1144C USB 3.0
controller. This is a PCIe x4 add-in card that contains four USB 3.0
ports, each equipped with its own controller. The card did and does work
without any problems with kernel 3.2.0-63 and earlier. Prior to
installing kernel 3.2.0-64 there were neither hardware nor software
problems with either of the machines.

Steps to reproduce:
apt-get dist-upgrade
sync
reboot
Result: system fails to boot.

The workaround is to revert to kernel 3.2.0-63 or to remove the RocketU
card.

Hardware description (same on both machines):
Dell PowerEdge R510
PERC6/i RAID controller
64GB RAM DDR3 ECC registered
Dual CPU: Intel Xeon X5660 2.80GHz
HighPoint RocketU 1144C 4-Port USB 3.0 PCIe 2.0 x4 HBA

Operating system (identical on both machines):
Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
Linux 3.2.0-64-generic x86_64

Drives:
sda - logical drive on PERC6/i, OS
sdb - logical drive on PERC6/i, data
sdc - Areca 5040 external RAID connected by USB3 to RocketU card
sdd - Areca 5040 external RAID connected by USB3 to RocketU card
sde - Areca 5040 external RAID connected by USB3 to RocketU card

Symptoms:
System boots normally until initialization of Areca drives connected to the RocketU card. The following messages are displayed on screen when booting without quiet and with debug options. These are last messages of a "typical" part of the boot sequence. Following it is a ~2 minute lag when no messages are displayed.

[Please note that no trace of the boot progress gets recorded in system
logs, and messages on screen scroll very fast. I had to record the boot
progress with a high framerate camera, and even so some messages
scrolled too fast and were not recorded. The following is a manual
transcript of fragments of these videos; please forgive inevitable
typos.]

After a two minute delay, the following messages appear in an infinite
loop.  Please note that these messages appear in a somewhat random
sequence, and not all messages appear on every boot. The only thing that
works at this point is Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

After pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the above messages continue to appear
for a few seconds, and after that the following messages are displayed:

After the last message screen goes blank and machine reboots.

Additional note:
Not sure if this is related, but while looking for existing bug reports, I have found several posts about kernel 3.2.0-64 regressing in USB 3.0 support:

Note about attachments:
Due to kernel 3.2.0-64 not being able to boot, the attached command output was obtained using kernel 3.2.0-63.
