    Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
    Booting [kernel]...               
    can't load 'kernel'
    can't load 'kernel.old'
    no bootable kernel
    /

    Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
    ok unload
    ok load kernel
    don't know how to load module '/kernel.ko'

    ok  load /kernel
    don't know how to load module '/kernel.ko'

This smells an awful lot like too much got MFC'ed.
