I have found the this problem is intermittent on my machine. However I have managed to fix the problem by disconnecting the CD-ROM drive from the IDE interface. This solves the hang on boot problem. When the CD is connected 8 out of 10 times my system just hangs. This is a bad bug for those affected.
