It looked the same here: The machine bootet into a kind of "emergency shell" with limited features. So I get a prompt. But then(!) the fresh loaded USB-modules produce a lot of output, so the real problem ist described four pages up. The last messages you can see on screen is that output. I accidently pressed return and was very surprised to get a prompt. The problem for me was that kernel2.6.14/udec/initramfd/whoever changes my drives order while booting. Instead of sda1 sdb1 sdc1,2,3 ...I suddenly had: sda1,2,3 sdb1 sdc1 I managed to get my machine kind-of booting by building a new kernel, where I included lots of modules for board, ide, sata, fs,...
