I have figured out that the problem occurs even with a base system, since I booted the system from the Kubuntu 7.04 Live CD, and the problem occurred after the system loaded (but before the GUI loaded). Oddly, I was able to boot from it about two or three times, but the fourth time it would no longer boot; even after I reboot the computer, I would still get the same problem (even though I am not dealing with a persistent system), which indicates that the problem may be hardware-related. Specifically, it looks like the driver is not compatible with this kernel. I might be able to reproduce the problem again, and, from the syslog determine where exactly the problem arises, however, this might be difficult, given that I will be booting from the CD, without persistence, so I will not be able to go back and view the syslog after reboot, and I will not be able to SSH into the system to view it, relying only on the console during boot.
