Upon rebooting to run a new kernel, I found my system unbootable. The standard kernel init stuff goes by, but after the "Freeing Unused Kernel Memory" message, it all just stops. I tried booting the old kernel and that did the same thing. The livecd boots just fine and the filesystem is good. I've tried re-merging baselayout and sysvinit, both of which were successful. I really not sure what the problem is and I'd just really love some help. I'm able to boot when passing "init=/bin/bash" but the keyboard doesn't work, so I'm stuck with a prompt and nothing else. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn computer on 2. Cry myself to sleep at night. Actual Results: It stops booting after "Freeing Unused Kernel Memory" Expected Results: continued booting..
