This suggestion was address to me, not Mike. :)

I tried, as you suggested, I can reach vfs_mountroot if I don't
include AHCI, so it must be that.

Now I'm trying to take out SMP and add extra debugging things here and
there.

I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I do it anyway. In the worst case I'm
learning something.

Thank you for your suggestions!
