Ted,
My system breaks due to the commit id 7202ab46f7392265c1ecbf03f600393bf32a8bdf on boot
as I get a hang and black screen. In addition I even attempted single user mode but this
still happens with this commit. I found this by running git bisect on my system for the 
last few hours and hope this is more useful them my trivial cleanup patches.
