 I think this is a duplicate PR.
 
 Assuming you have same problem as me:
 
 To work-around this problem, I stopped my boot loader by pressing space 
 bar. Then ran "boot -c".
 
 Then at the userconf prompt I typed "disable ohci" and then "quit".
 
 Then I could boot.
 
 Please see PRs 34100 and 34203:

 It also suggests using different kernel.
 
 Is this going to be fixed? As it appears more and more systems have this 
 problem.
