No matter how I try to boot right now, it mostly just hangs in SILO 
using 100% cpu.

It did finally boot a few times but it took a long time and ran slow. 
qemu-g boots fine but the test I use which is just standard debian etch
installed to a disk image doesn't boot reliably anymore.  This is a new
regression.

As a side note, this same disk image on the same computer used to display
around 500 bogo mips at the first of this year but has steadily decreased to
around 125 bogo mips.
