Bad news, I just reflashed my bios and lost all the custom stuff I did to it and I'm still experiencing it. Now I get this on boot with 2.6.37-9.23-generic
[ 0.000000] NX (Execute Disable) protection: approximated by x86 segment limits
instead of
[ 0.000000] Notice: NX (Execute Disable) protection cannot be enabled: non-PAE kernel!
but after booting that kernel and then rebooting grub still hangs at GRUB loading before I can select a kernel.
