Eventually got around to trying out 9.10 Beta live CD - the problem is still here: lockup just before showing the login manager
However I did get an error message early on in the boot process, before the bootsplash logo which said this:
[ 0.167144] pci 0000:01:0b.0: BAR 6: address space collision on of device [0xfc9f0000-0xfc97fff]
(I don't know what ''on of device'' means but that's exactly what came up) Hopefully this is useful!
