As in one of the comments above, I have this exactly soft lock issue ONLY when booting on battery, right after fsck. 100% failures on updated Kubuntu Edgy, no matter if WIFI is off or on. After plugging the AC power all goes smoothly. I've seen similiar problem here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.devel/20668
