I'll let it sit for a while and see if it goes anywhere...
Is the distribution you linked to anything like 9atom? Trying 9atom
seems to be a common suggestion for these issues, so I gave it a shot
and it freezes too, though the output is a little bit different. It
prints:
PBS1...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0E20
pcirouting: 8086/24DB at pin 1 irq 5
cpu0: 2793 MHz Pentium IV/Xeon loop 53571
apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=fdf9 di=0 ebx=100469 esi=0
found 5 e820 entries
...and then freezes.
