Bug Description
i386 based system hangs at "Starting hotplug subsystem..." (Hoary). There is
probably an issue with detecting an GeForce 6600. Without the GeForce 6600 Hoary
boots perfectly with Intel Extreme Graphics onboard IC. I also made an attempt
to disable the Intel IC in the BIOS (Primary Graphics Adapter --> AGP, no memory
for onboard IC allocated...), but that didn't give any positive results. I also
tried to boot Breezy with the GeForce 6600, but I receive a kernel panic at
"Starting hotplug subsystem...". Before the kernel panicked I saw that it tries
to do "do_irq" (Often, not all the time). Some people told me that Ubuntu
Hoary/Breezy tried to detect the Intel IC and the GeForce 6600 "at the same
time", which isn't possible. Neither the BASH terminal nor X Server with GNOME
will be loaded.
Hardware:
Motherboard: ASRock P4i45GV
Processor: Celeron 2.4 GHz
Memory: 256 MB SDRAM
Graphics: Intel Extreme Graphics or XpertVision GeForce 6600 AGP 8X (AGI ASRock
interface)
Sound: onboard

I would guess that the nvidia module is hanging on startup.
