I recently (last night) added USB support to my kernel (just to see :-) 
and it hung at the same place. Removing the USB entries fixed it.

This was also at the same time as the syscons/atkbd changeover for me as well
so I wasn't expecting it really to be the USB driver (since I have no
USB devices).

If you have USB support compiled in try removing it.
