Problem does not exist with 10.10 but exists with virtually every other recent distro out there (Opensuse 11.2 - 11.4, Fedora etc) which leads me to believe it's a bug inherited from the upstream that was fixed in maverick. The only way to boot the laptop successfully is by adding the nomodeset option, which unfortunately results in no 3D nor the correct resolution. I am currently back to maverick but I would love to use natty asap so thanks for resolving the bug.
