Thank you Omar! - I had totally not thought of ACPI. Adding acpi=off to boot fixes the problem completely. Given the problems which ACPI seems to be causing - including people's problems in FC2 - wouldn't it be a good idea to default it to "off" until it behaves a bit better? I realize that the dev kernels are just that, but to have the entire system not boot on a whim of ACPI's strikes me as a bit counterproductive...
