This seems similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/258381.
And that is a kernel regression/bug in hrtimer.

Does the boot splash display at all? Or does it go blank when entering graphical mode,
Or lock up (and/or go blank) midway thruough the boot splash.

I regularly build a custom kernel off the latest git tree, and first ran into this problem with 2.6.25.
The bug was fixed in 2.6.27, but that's not going into 8.10.

I tested the patch that disables hrtick and confirm it fixes the problem.
