I've just installed CentOS 4.2 on a brand-new PC. It appears to be working fine except for one thing: When the system is first powered on, the boot sequence hangs after
Starting udev: Initializing hardware ... storage network audio
If I then hit the reset button, it reboots and successfully proceeds.
Looking at rc.sysinit and the output of kmodule, it would appear that the problem is with loading the pciehp module. In dmesg after the successful boot I can see a bunch of errors from that module (cut'n'paste appended at the end of this message), but everything appears to be working correctly -- graphical boot was fine, gdm starts up and I have a functional X session when I log in.
Any clues? Google found some Debian bug reports regarding hotplug and USB drives ... hmm, now that I think of it, I do have a USB mouse plugged in at boot time, next chance I have I'll try it without that. Adding "redhat" or "centos" to the search didn't turn up anything conclusive.
Other details:
System installed from CentOS 4.0 ISOs, then upgraded to 4.2 with yum Motherboard is ASUS P5N32-SLI, using onboard sound Radeon X300SE PCI-E graphics card
Power-on boot from the install CD also hung, at "running /sbin/loader" but rebooted correctly into the installer after the reset button was pressed.

In all of these ACPI type issues, try:
1. Make sure you have the latest Motherboard BIOS upgrades.
2. If you have any external controllers, make sure they have the latest firmware.
3. Update to the latest kernel version of CentOS.
4. If all else fails, try booting with acpi=ht

OK, will do (I was about to try acpi=off but this sounds like a better plan). Thanks.

Except that it didn't work.
With acpi=ht, the boot sequence proceeds past the pciehp module, but hangs up later, not always at the same place. With acpi=off, it consistently hangs during (of all things) starting cups.
However, leaving acpi alone and changing the timeout in grub.conf from 5 to 10 seconds (which I did for another reason -- the monitor wasn't coming on until the 5 seconds was already past) seems to have cleared it up.

Some more info in case it rings bells for anyone:
Early in the boot sequence, this message appears:
MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
Googling seems to indicate that this is an old/known nForce problem, has been patched for in recent kernels, and shouldn't be related. Am I wrong about that?
Later, during (?) kudzu hardware detection / just before pcmcia is enabled, I get
FATAL: Module acpi not found
Nevertheless kuzdu says "OK" and the boot proceeds.
Finally (and this is clearly unrelated) smartd always fails to start.

Apparently I spoke too soon there. After leaving the system sit powered off overnight, the 10-second delay is no longer enough. This is strange.
