Cute, the kernel oopsed.
This happens on my Sony VAIO GR series (315MP) laptop, too. Apparently, it is a PCI IRQ routing issue, which can be tackled by using the ACPI kernel patch from http://sf.net/projects/acpi/ (works for me).

This problem which surprisingly has a NORMAL severity (on a system HANG???) also occurs on Linux v9. I get the hang at "Initializing firewire controller (ohci1394). Is Linux really ready for prime time? This is a poor experience with first use of Linux.
