Searching on "io scheduler cfg registered (default)"
<http://www.google.com/search?complete=0&hl=en&q="io+scheduler+cfq+registered+(default)">

shows multiple kernel issues, so it might also be worth trying 8.04/hardy.

On a Fedora post with the same issue, these worked for one user:

Try these boot options at startup:
noapic acpi=off nofb

Maybe it was the 'nofb' (no frame buffers) that helped in that case.
