The package lm-sensors uses the eeprom module to get temperature readings from motherboard sensors. I have seen Dell servers freeze when this module is being loaded. Maybe the module got updated but was never reloaded until the power outage now? Boot from a live CD and comment out eeprom from /etc/modules and then boot again. As far as I know, this module isn't used for anything else.after a circuit breaker caused a power outage, which reset the bios. debian is now freezing (solid) at 'Loading kernel module eeprom'.
