Do you have a Toshiba laptop?

I have the same problem.  In my case is when mounting the filesystem.
It stall there for 20 seconds.

I was using Ubuntu and when I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.9 it started.
Booting with the 2.6.8 kernel works perfectly.

Under Ubuntu the error it showed was:
ERROR: Removing 'cmd64x': Device or resource busy
and a few others.

Any idea?
