Boot your system from harddisk (safe mode). Then, open a shell window
('terminal') after booting. The terminal can be started via the pull-down menu
Accessoires. Click on the Ubunutu logo on the upper left corner to do so.
Then enter the command
ls /lib/modules
It should display among others something like kernel 2.6.20-16-generic.
Then execute
cd
/lib/modules/2.6.22-9-generic/2.6.22-9-generic/kernel/drivers/char/hw_random/
sudo mv intel-rng.ko intel-rng.ko.off
This shall rename the filename and thus makes it invisible to the boot process.
You will have to enter your password for the command.
CAUTION: Whether this workaround works for your setup is not at all
guaranteed! The bug was reported for HP Omnibook 6100. Hence, your boot
problem might have a totally different root cause!!!
If you cannot boot from your hard disk, then I am unsure how you can
repair the Feisty installation. If the system boots from the LIVE-CD,
you might be able to access the harddisk. That's a different story.
