[Bug 343268] Re: linux 2.6.28 doesn't boot for recent processors with XSAVE

[iceaway]

I think I am having the same problem. When booting it freezes right after "Starting up...", and if I remove the quiet splash options I can see that it stops after 
[some time] io scheduler cfq registered (default)

I tried using all the options, acpi=off, noacpi, noapic, nolapic,
clocksource=jiffies etc but nothing works. I began with the 2.6.28
kernel that came with my 9.04 installation, and later upgraded to 2.6.30
but that did not make any difference. If I have a usb-stick with the
LiveCD/installation on it inserted when I boot it works fine. I have a
XFX MI-A78S8209 GeForce 8200 motherboard.
