I can confirm this bug and the solution presented by Jon A.:
My system is a "Dell Latitude D820" with no cables connected at all. A boot up with the WiFi switch turned OFF will fail with a freezed splash screen, the recovery mode shows a "Bug: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!" during starting LVM. If I set the WiFi switch to ON the system boots up normal. I tested this behaviour five times each way.
I have an up-to-date system with no special adaptions. I use the nvidia-glx.
If more informations are needed, please feel free to contact me.
