Hi Jason,

Just checked mine which was successfully booted with some previous 
snapshot but now fails at the same place as Nigel's.

Here is a boot log of the last known snapshot:

https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi?do=view&id=6187

Now the recent kernel finds something at eisa1 so there could be some 
changes between 9.99.87 and the recent one in handling eisa?

Thanks in advance,
