I can't report this problem from a new kernel, but i have the same
problem with the kernel 2.6.20.1-33x from f7-test3.

I managed to boot with these options:
linux noapic acpi=off pci=nomsi irqpoll

Here is my lspci -tv

Can you narrow down the options?

Hopefully pci=nomsi or similar should do it.

irqpoll in particular is heavyweight and to be avoided if possible.
