System pauses on boot, during modules loading..

My system boots normally until I get to the "Loading Modules" stage, then it just sits there until I press "Enter".  Then, it continues to boot.

Here is my MODULES=() line from rc.conf:

MODULES=(powernow-k8 forcedeth !ath_hal !ath_pci !wlan snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore !vboxdrv !fuse !loop)

I've disabled my wifi, VirtualBox kernel module, and the supporting modules for TrueCrypt, trying to find which was causing the hang.  It's still doing it, and I don't know enough about the rest of them to start toggling them off.

Any ideas?

Re: System pauses on boot, during modules loading..

My modules are:
MODULES=(forcedeth slhc rt2x00lib rt2x00usb rt73usb snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss snd-seq-device snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-rawmidi snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore snd-usb-audio snd-usb-lib vboxdrv fuse)
and everything is fine... The only left candidate would be powernow-k8... What about disabling that one?
