My bug report #290129 was marked as a duplicate of this bug. I can confirm that it is the same, and booting with "acpi=off" or "acpi=noirq" makes the system boot without halting. I didn't try any other boot options. I updated to Jaunty recently, and the bug is gone, meaning that I can boot normally without any extra boot options.
