Just another thought. Do I need noapic and nolapic etc as kernel params during boot? Currently I do not have those but I still remember using those long time ago to install Mandrake (before it became Mandriva) Linux.
These things should just work, and if they don't, you'd know about it. Since you've got as far as you have, they're unlikely to be a problem.
If you want to play with kernel parameters, try noacpi. A dodgy ACPI implementation on your motherboard could cause problems.
Hope this helps,
