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... (my $0.02, refundable upon request :-)
This should be fixed properly in the next kernel that Arjan pushes out. Binary search on patches since the last working kernel and first broken one took a while, but it turned out to be something (sort of) trivial.
Just out of interest, what was this sort of trivial something? :)
Oh, and has the fix for said something been upstreamed?
