Here's some more information as I have the same exact
behavior with an HP Pavilion zv5000z.
(This data was also submitted to the freebsd-mobile
mailing list.)
This computer came with a free upgrade of one of them
universal flash digital media card readers. I'm
wondering if there is some conflict there.
Anyway, I tried booting OpenBSD 3.5 on this box and it
had trouble too; but it gave some useful information
as to the "why." I'll transcribe it here (by hand.)

Hope this helps.
