try to blacklist bcm43xx if you have it installed

add line: blacklist bcm43xx

Jani,
I did as you said and blacklisted bcm43xx. That was the problem. Now it boots fine.
However, now I have no internet connectivity.
Unless someone wants me to send any error logs or do any testing, I am going to try re-installing from a new Feisty disk tomorrow a.m., and see what that gives me.
