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.
