It sounds like you may have initrd problems; can you boot single user and
recreate the relevant initrd file in /boot? (Saving the old one would be

Any chance I could come by Thursday morning and have at? I'd like to
look at the state it's in now, and I expect I can recover it from
whatever state it's in at the same time.
