I too am having a similar problem...
I cannot seem to build a working kernel for about a day. My previous
working kernel was about 9 days old.

The new kernels seem to hang immeditely after the boot prompt after they
display that code addresses (i think)

No output of the devices recognized show up on the screen. But I can
see my floppy drive, cd, hard disks light up.
If I reboot at this time and boot using the saved kernle (9 days old),
it fscks / and all as they are not properly dismounted.

Somehow it seems to be doing all the device detection and probably
mounting the disks but the system does not respond.

PII 233 ASUS P2BS (7890)
CURRENT (re cvsuped last night) and a clean /usr/src
SOFTUPDATES (I do not think this is causing it)

I did not touch any hardware recently.

I think it is a problem in the boot code. 
I do have FFS_ROOT in the kernel config.

I can provide more info if needed...
