Sean:
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:
On x86, 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", <return> and then ":c",
<return> which will then print out each module as it's being loaded.
