That's a known problem with the Lombard and has nothing to do with your
disk. Basically, what happens is that on a cold boot, something is
screwed up in the ATI chip initialisation, and that cause the console
accel to hang as soon as it tries to scroll the screen. The problem
doesn't happen on warm boot after MacOS had a chance to load at least once.
