kernel halts before booting

[Andy Farkas]

My kernels now break into the debugger before booting!

Boot sequence goes like this:

...
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
instruction pointer     = 0x0:0xa00
stack pointer           = 0x0:0xffe
frame pointer           = 0x0:0x0
code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0x0, type 0x0
                        = DPL 0, pres 0, def32 0, gran 0
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, vm86, IOPL = 0
current process         = 0 ()

Also happens with GENERIC.
