I hate wrapping in email programs!  Everything on your kernel line 
appears on ONE LINE, right?  Not wrapped as it appears above?

Exact error message please.

The /proc filesystem doesn't get mounted until sometime after the booted 
kernel gets running.  Why is there a reference to it when booting. 
Originally I thought it might be some reference in your initramfs image, 
but now I'm not so sure.

Exactly when does this message occur?  Have you removed the "quiet" and 
"rhgb" options from your kernel line in grub?  Its nice to know exactly 
what's going on during the boot process when messages like that appear. 
  How far into the kernel boot process do you actually get?

Please describe in great detail.  B^)  Ideally I'd like to be there next 
to you so I can see for myself.  The next best thing would be to capture 
it in video and post a link to the .mpg file.  Its not more than a few 
seconds long, right?  B^)   B^)
