Do you have Windows still on the disk? If you boot Windows
then restart do you see the same problem?

I switched "debug" mode on in my BIOS - there is no logo
anymore, but information about boot progress. It hangs right
after CD-ROM detection.

I dont't know if it's related but forgot to tell, that there
is one more problem, even if I boot properly to the system,
sometimes my CD-ROM doesn't get recognised by kernel and
sometimes does. I switched to udev recently so this could be
the cause, but I don't see why...
