The system boot screen did indicate it was initiating / building akmods, but I 
may not have let it sit long enough. When I manually build the akmod it doesn't 
take longer than 2m and I'm almost certain I've let it sit longer at boot. If 
it happens again, I will test how long it sits, but for now I guess this is the 
best, simplest answer I could hope for. :-)

Thanks everyone
