Did you select the 'Boot with ACPI disabled' option from the boot menu on
the CD?  Sorry if this is a dumb question, but people often transpose
'apic' and 'acpi', so I want to make sure.  I would try toggling both the
BIOS 'IO_APIC Mapping' option and the ACPI option on the CD boot menu.
If all four combinations fail to work, the only thing left to do is set
up a serial console and capture the boot output and email it out.  The
boot serial console is enabled by escaping from the CD boot menu and
typing 'boot -Dhv'
