Yes, this is a familiar problem, at least for me. :-)

On my machine it hangs after returning from kernel_execve()/do_execve(),
which is called by run_init_process("/sbin/init"). So the problem can be
almost anywhere. The problem appeared first on kernel 2.6.17. 2.6.16
worked fine on my machine.
I'm going to try out git-bisect on these two kernel revisions, now that I
figured out what people mean when they talk about bisecting. :-) I just
have to figure out how to merge my patches with every branch that is
checked out by git-bisect.
