I noticed this seems to be a plague on HP Pavilion laptops. I've been experiencing the same problem on my dv9610us since the install of 8.10 beta (now official). I tested it with acpi=off to find that it booted just fine but no power management with that option (which is no good for a laptop you intend on actually using portably). I will try the acpi=noirq option and wait out a fix.
