I suggest you try to get into an early stage during boot and try to move forward from there. Try to add '1' to the parameters in order to get into single-user mode. You can also try 'init=3D/bin/bash'. There are lots of other options you can try. For a long time, 'noapic' (not 'noapci') was my first candidate for odd boot issues. Take a look at /usr/sr/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for more options. Also, which kernel sources are you using and which live CD (with which kernel version)? Is there a specific reason why you use ext2 for root? What kind of system do you run, anyway? And, just by chance, you are not using an extremely large (>1TB) drive which might happen to have 4kB blocks instead of 512 B?
