are you sure timer interrupts are processed while you are waiting for the timeout to expire? I'd suggest to put a:
printk("<%d>", irq);
into arch/i386/kernel/irq.c:do_IRQ(). So you can see what kind of interrupt traffic there is while the device initializes and you are waiting for it to generate an interrupt.
If you see lots of "<0>" messages and the sleep_on() is not returning nevertheless, then something serious is going on - almost nothing can prevent timers from expiring.
