I suspected it was something about /dev populating, but I hadn't any
clue on how to make it go on. To be sure, I've left it "hanging"
(actually, it's not a completely unresponsive hang, SysRq works fine)
for even 15 minutes, without any luck.

Could you please try to compile 2.6.22-git1 and see if you get an
internal gcc error? It is in the first kernel-core related files, you
should hit it too.

This evening I'll be able to be more precise about the exact file, I
don't have the box here.

Bye.
