Have you tried to bood with ACPI=off
Just did that (ACPI=off on boot menu). It doesn't "crash" to a full black screen now, but it gets to the point where it should be doing startx, but it's just hung. I see the last bit of console boot on the screen, along with a login: prompt, but the laptop's unresponsive.
After it hangs that way, boot in failsafe or init 3, and check X log files to see for any problems there. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)
