Question now is why mdev would hang booting the

If it's a newer chipset, it might be worth trying the 2008.0 beta to do

Always one more gotcha :-)

Now that the b2 is out for x86_64 I guess it's worth
a shot... that or building a bootable with the stock
minimal CD and an updated kernel.

Seems like it wouldn't be all that difficult, just a
matter of grafting the new kernel into place and burning
it.
