Booting failing in Debian like distros?

Booting failing in Debian like distros?

I've tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Debian, even though all have worked
great for me I'm keeping with Ubuntu, I tested 12.04, 12.10 and even
13.04. The 12.04 LTS is the one I work with.
There's one issue persisting in the three distros I've tested, sometimes
at random occasions the boot fails, after GRUB, it shows only a _ as
prompt and it remains indefinitely, I've let pass up to an hour, last and
best I could do was to wait for a while and try again until I get the
Linux to load.
Everytime this happens and I've selected recovery mode I get logs like these:

So, I blame the last line:
[ 0. .... ]Booting Node 0, Processors #1
to be the issue, all first log lines appear continuously but it'll stop then.
I already updated BIOS, but there's something I think it might be the
issue and that's the Hyperthreading, I had disabled it after BIOS update
and it stopped happening, now I enabled it for installing a 64 bits OS in
VMWare Player and it happened again.
I googled and I've not really found a solution.
