           Summary: Hangs during boot and hangs during shutdown
           Product: Other
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.38[.x]
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocking
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: other_other at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: jd1008 at gmail.com
        Regression: No


Bootup hangs at many stages/phases of the boot process.
Only way for me to make it move forward is to keep
hitting the carriage return (i.e. to force an interrupt).
Mouse clicks did not help. Only CR from KB makes it hop 
to the next stage/phase, and I have to hit the KB again
and again ...etc.

The same problem occurs during shutdown, and the same
solution: i have to keep pressing CR until the system
finally shuts down.

If I do not press CR, I can leave the machine alone
and 3 hours later, it is stuck at the same position
in the boot or shutdown process. Only CR makes it move
to the next step/phase....etc.

I can reproduce this problem at will, with any of
the 2.6.38 kernels.
