I had a laptop I upgraded that showed similar intractable symptoms...
it was able to boot after I physically removed the DVD drive from the
laptop.  Since the same setup worked fine with older kernels I guess it
will be able to go back in there one day when a later kernel can cope
with the motherboard controller chipset or the DVD device or whatever it
is it didn't like.
