I have been having the same problem, and emailed meklort because it appeared to 
be a kernel mismatch (according to the  error messages I saw). Here's what he 
sent back

"Right now the latest version of NBI is 0.8.5pre. If you use either it or 0.8.4 
you should not have the version mismatch error.

Essentially, to get your machine booting up again, you need to remove the 
SleepEnabler.kext file inside of /Extra and regenerate the kext cache located 
there as well."
