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.
