Some people seem to experience this problem. They can see I/O errors in console #4 (Ctrl Alt F4), is it your case as well? If so, I still don't know what kernel parameter you should try to workaround this problem (if any). Maybe there are trouble with your bios or with acpi/apic in our kernel :/. You may also want to try to boot off the 2.2 kernel (F1 then alt1) and tell us if that makes any difference. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
