Bill:
You can try booting kmdb and see whether it will give you more information:
In the GRUB menu, type "e" (for edit) and then another "e" and then add
"-k -d " to the end of the kernel line. Finally, press RETURN.
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 should print out each module as it's being loaded.
