I have tried booting with both nouveau and nvidia blacklisted in console mode and still get the same behaviour.
As mention in comment #4, acpi=off noapic allows normal boot but it is really not practical on a laptop.
Did you try to install proprietary driver and boot with "rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0"? My system works fine with these boot flags, at least with 3.3
