This pretty much means that there is something in the GENERIC kernel
that is NOT in the install kernel that is causing problems on this
machine. If you can find this device and disable it through ukc>, you
should be in business.
totally wild guess: try disabling ahc.
If the wild guess doesn't work, do a verbose boot, and take a look at
what is the last thing probed.
Failing that, try a snapshot (ISA ahc devices are disabled in -current,
which are the problem devices with the ahc probe, apparently). Always
good to see if a problem is already fixed...
