It didn't save the dmesg from the hang. Probably because I power cycled,
duh. Let me try hitting the reset button next.

In any case, here's the dmesg from when it DOES boot.

I was unable to save the dmesg, but I took a photo that's now on

The last lines (if I type this correctly) re:

This is where it hangs.

I have a similar problem.

I have a piixide0: Intel 82371AB IDE controller (PIIX4) (rev. 0x01)
and since I switched from 4.99.61 to .62 the boot just stalls.
Luckily, I can boot with the old 4.99.61 kernel.

zafer.
