No amod/kmod in use, this is a stock system, and the messages regarding stale 
locks are probably the clue, when I did the reboot the system didn't reboot, it 
went down and hung. But I checked /var/lock for any leftover files, and didn't 
find them, so if there are stale locks they are in some non-standard place.

Previous kernel does the same thing, comes up to a black screen with a mouse 
pointer in the shape of a watch, and there it sits.
