Boot with -v. What is the last line you see before it freezes?

Field Note #2 @Lord_Jeremy 2009-07-14

To be more clear, (I'm assuming you have chameleon 2 - this is the default for iATKOS v7) you need to press any key at the bootloader screen (the screen with the progress bar). Then you need to select your hard drive and press TAB. Now type "-v" and press ENTER. Then tell us what the last few lines of all the text that appears is.
