  Well you might start  Qemu with option -d in_asm to see whats 
happening. Then compare log's (the one that freezes and the one that 
works ok) to see whats the difference. That way you might find out where 
the problem is. And you might also take a look at BOCHS emulator page 
because Dimitri Froloff  made few fixes to boot OS/2 under it(some of 
these were memory handling related fixes). He made these fixes lately.
