memguard has made the situation even worse.  The kernel never
makes to single user mode.  I get

MEMGUARD DEBUGGING ALLOCATOR INITIALIZED
MEMGUARD map base: 0xffffffff8f1b2000
         map limit: 0xffffffff919b3000
         map size: 41947136 (Bytes)

Memory modified after free 0xffffff000005bd00(248) val=5 @ 0xffffff000005bdd0
