Interrupt the boot process when it counts down and enter 'boot kernel.old'  This
will boot your previous kernel.

Is it failing in the same place every time?  If not, it's most likely a hardware
problem.
If so, you may want to cvsup again.  It doesn't happen too often, but it is
possible to cvsup exactly in the middle of a series of commits, leaving you
with a combination of files that won't build.
