Same here! I used some combination of "noacpi acpi=off" type stuff on the boot commandline before it finally worked, and after install it didn't have any problems. I only experienced this boot issue on a Dell laptop (and others are as well), on my Thinkpad the install DVD booted right up and ran like a champ.

I haven't run into something like that in a long time, it's weird it made it past QA. Some of the people reporting the problem mentioned that it didn't happen in the 'Test' releases, so it looks like something done right before release. :-/
