OK, udev "hanging" without "acpi=off" is a bug in the kernel, please file one, however acpi=off is like a using a tank to kill ants. You need to figure exactly what piece is broken.
Thank you for your feedback, Cristian. Very much appreciated! Yes, 'acpi=off' is overkill, but it allowed the installation to proceed. :-) The 'hang on udev' bug seems to only affect the installation kernel and I'm pretty sure it's already been reported.
The system is an ASUS laptop, model X83VB-X1, with nVidia GeForce 9300M GS graphics adapter (512 MB video RAM.) The mainboard is an 'N80VB (ver. 1)'. It's configured with 4 GB RAM and an internal 500 GB SATA HD.
Ok, the "nouveau" driver does not handle the nvidia card fans properly, this is a known problem, my only suggestion will be installing the nvidia propietary driver.
I'm going to explore my 11.4 backup to see how this was being handled there. Even with the proprietary driver the fan is stuck in 'middle gear,' i.e. on 'high' after booting then a short while later throttling back ... just a bit. Thanks again!
