>"well I will download the latest non quantal kernel and rerun the apport

You will not be able to apport in a non-Ubuntu repository kernel, such
as a mainline kernel. Hence, please do not worry about apport'ing it, as
we trust you if you say you tested it. :D

>"Before I commit to bisect the kernel, is there someway I can test it
without causing my computer to hang during the boot process? or some
ultra secret thing i can do to get out of a frozen and locked up boot
process and simply reboot back to grub."

Unfortunately, some things in the debugging process are more involving
then others, and bisecting is one of them. I know of no way to test for
the computer to hang, other than to hang it via the bisect process.
However, bisecting is one of the most helpful debugging steps to provide
to get your bug fixed as soon as possible.

>"Can I do this in a VM and it still produce the accurate results?"

You are welcome to test for the problem in a VM to provide hardware
disparate datapoint(s). However, the issue is not a matter of accuracy.
In a very high majority of linux (Ubuntu) kernel problems are hardware
dependent. As the VM is virtualizing hardware via software, that is
notably different from your host hardware, this will only further
validate this is issue is dependent on your hardware. As well, we would
have already received a rash of Launchpad bug reports noting, "XYZ
virtualization platform(s) will not boot Ubuntu guests unless one does
acpi=off."
