Actually, 2.6.27-2 (perhaps -1) as well, did boot, but it took about 9 minutes (in Single User mode) before I could get to the "drop to root sell prompt". There was a very long delay where I previously believed it was frozen ("ACPI: RTC can wake from S4"). It also took a long delay after "sda:" (when the partitions are detected, I believe). And then there was another long delay after "Setting kernel variables: wine"

The dmesg log shows this at a few points:
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 155s! [swapper:0]
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 155s! [modprobe:2174]
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 144s! [swapper:0]
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 144s! [uname:4136]

I'm continuing the boot - I should be able to attach the full dmesg log later (already seeing more of these 2 minute delays, so it may take a while)
