Yep.. the snapshot worked... I did not get a chance to try 3.9... I spent
all last night making a new release... I was pretty sure that I only needed
cd41.iso and the kernel but I went ahead and did the whole thing anyway.
So now it is up and running and everything seems fine. Thanks for your help!

Can you try a snapshot? VM_PHYSSEG_MAX was upped from 5 to 16 at
the end of March; this should help. (This change was too late for
4.1 though.)
I was also serious in asking you to try 3.9: I think you will find
that this does not work either. In other words, 4.0 is the only
recent release that will have worked for you - there were changes
in 4.0 which were reverted (undone) for 4.1 because they did not
work for everyone. However, they did include a higher value for
VM_PHYSSEG_MAX.
Thanks

Yeah.... I am sorry about the first hand written dmesg with the
"blah blah" in it. Below are two links to images of my screen.. some
intermediate messages were lost because they scrolled by too fast.
To recap... it works on i386 4.0 (the clock_battery message shows
up there too) it works on amd64 4.1 (clock_message also) and the
screenshots for i386 4.1 are below. There is a message in the
secondScreen image where fxp0 has a fault. If I disable the intel
ethernet (it is onboard the motherboard) I get an error at about the
same place about the USB having a fault. If I disable the USB...
another item has a fault and so on (sorry.. I don't remember the
item... if someone thinks that is an important clue I will try again
and let you know).
It seems like the initial avm_page_physload is a big part of this
issue. It seems so strange how the other releases will work.
Okay... so here are the links to the screenshots and the dmesg for
amd64 was in an earlier post. Thanks again everyone.
