I had this on ia64, hung when libc6 or sysinitv postinst tried to
get init to reload inittab. The root cause was that I had forgotten
to include root=/dev/ram in my boot options. It mounted the ramdisk
ok (from initrd=....), but then gets confused about whether process
1 is linuxrc or init (something like that anyway).
So check you boot with root=/dev/ram.
