 Same problem here.
 
 6.3/amd64 is now downloading, will try to get a verbose boot.
 
 This post suggests it's in the acpi.

 If anyone's working on this, please let me know, what information you want 
 from 6.3, since writing to disk doesn't work for 7.0.
 
 If necessary, I can upgrade in place to 7.x, but if the driver isn't working, 
 then hmm. I haven't looked at the disk config and such yet, but maybe I can 
 get a dual boot going to test any patches.
