The problem with the 7.10 amd64 release persists. However as the kernel helpfully suggested after I turned off quiet and splash annoyances, booting with "irqpoll" might help and it did allow me to boot. I don't normally need to use that boot option though. After X came up Gnome was very slow to start (I was thinking it failed) but then came up correctly, although the strartup sound was jerky. This is a C2D 6600 with 2GB RAM so I don't see how that would be acceptable. Examples on the desktop worked. When I wanted to shutdown and clicked the power button icon in the top right corner my machine froze and wouldn't respond to anything anymore.
