Could you try to also get the kernel debugger running to let others in on what the issues are:
From: md5645 You will need to boot kmdb to see where the hang occurs. If you have a digital camera or cell phone with camera, you can take a snapshot of what happen when you boot kmdb: In the GRUB item, type "e" (for edit) and then another "e" and then add "-k -d " to the end of the kernel line or before the -B options. Finally, press return to boot this entry. This will cause the kernel debugger to load Loading kmdb... Welcome to kmdb kmdb: unable to determine terminal type: assuming `vt100' Loaded modules: [ unix krtld genunix ] [0]> At the prompt, enter "moddebug/W 0x80000000", and then ":c", which will then print out each module as it's being loaded.
