load just the bare kernel, then look around:
- pass these options as boot params:
  root=<your root dev> ro init=/bin/sh 
- then if you get a shell:
  - mount / -o remount,rw
  - mount /proc
  - mount <all that you need, eg /tmp, /var, /usr etc. in your setup>
  - run above commands, try to load modules 1-by-1 - eg. acpi, agp, ...
    see if/when/what breaks
