Hi... I have also experienced what appears to be the same bug on a dual x86-64 Xeon machine. Symptoms are: 1) Using kernel linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic (package version 2.6.22-14.47) from Gutsy my system hangs at during kernel startup.
With "nosmp" added to the kernel commandline the kernel hangs after printing: checking if image is initramfs... (not sure whether it got to the "it is" or not) With SMP enabled, the crash is after a line related to TSC synchronization between CPUs. 2) If I disable USB in the BIOS, then the system boots fine using SMP and kernel 2.6.22, which appears to agree with the kernel bugzilla entry. My system uses a combined UHCI/EHCI usb host controller. 3) Kernel 2.6.24-2 from Hardy (package version 2.6.24-2.4) boots fine using SMP and with USB enabled in the BIOS, so this issue appears to be fixed in Hardy.
