I built a kernel with -current today and it seems to hang in the same place. 
Unfortunately no dmesg logs are available as they are overwritten on the next 
boot, and there is nothing in the /var/log/messages.
The boot hangs just after displaying the console messages for the USB ports, 
the same as -stable, 
I have logged a problem report #34184.
Has anyone else seen a similar problem with i915GM and -stable or -current?
