It looks like you are using TinyBIOS. Make sure that if you are using v0.99
that you do *not* enable the MFGPT workaround. If you are using an older
version, then you will need this patch:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/23/372
And enable mfgptfix on the command line. There seems to be a problem with
the MFGPT "workaround" that causes hangs exactly like you are seeing.
