Comment 153 for bug 263059

The only thing we know: a five (probably less) seconds delay stops the hangs.

So I removed everything [up to "Loading hardware drivers..."] before the module gets loaded during a successful delayed boot by either blacklisting it, removing the driver, disabling it in the kernel, and adding "acpi=off" to the kernel line.

Result: I still get hangs, now looking like this: http://img.xrmb2.net/images/874633.png

I'm outta ideas.
