Some have found that adding acpi=on to the grub file has stopped the 
lockups due to assigning the same interrupts to conflicting devices. I 
had a hang during pcmcia before adding acpi=on to the grub file.

To get it to boot initially, highlight the kernel selection that you 
want to use. press the a key. Next hit the space bar and then add 
acpi=on after the space. Hit enter and see if this gets you booted up 
successfully.

If you have a device attached to the fire wire port. (cdrom or hard 
drive). Check the list archives for firewire remedies discussed earlier.
