That's a good start :) Do you have a second computer around with a serial port ? If yes, then please add the following to the kernel command line: earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 apic=debug and connect the serial ports with a null modem cable. Fire up a terminal program on the second machine and capture the output.
