It continues after that. The screen freezes and the fans start spinning very hard. The last dmesg line before the pause is a info message about acer-wmi. I blacklisted acer-wmi in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and updated initramfs. Now ubuntu boots as it should without hanging. No functionality appears to be lost. Bluetooth and wifi work, also the volume keys. When modprobing this module after boot the same symptoms occur. Ubuntu hangs, and reacts normally after 10 seconds. So, clearly something is wrong with acer-wmi. Maybe it should not be loaded with this laptop version, or it has a bug in it. I will add a dmesg from a boot with acer-wmi enabled.
