Samsung Q45 hard freeze during boot

[Sam Morris]

Hi there, I'm trying to get Linux working on a Samsung Q45 laptop.
2.6.22 works fine, but 2.6.24.3 and 2.6.25-rc8 both freeze hard during
boot time after the following messages:

        Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...
        agpgart: Detected an Intel 965GM Chipset.
        agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000
