The problem is caused by udev autoloading too many modules on boot. I'm
adding a function to the add-sauce script to include a modprobe
blacklist. If anyone finds any other modules that are autoloaded and
shouldn't be, please report them so they can also be added to the
blacklist. Note that these modules were being autoloaded even though
"vga=normal" is passed to the ISO kernel at ISO boot automatically (via
isolinux.cfg boot parameters).
