I have seen a similar thing on my laptop.  It just hangs around the time
it should start init and when I press ctrl-T it says "no controlling
terminal" (or something like that).  I can then reboot with
ctrl-alt-delete.

I traced it down to having dcons and dcons_crom in the kernel.  Without
those my kernel boots fine.  I haven't found the exact date it broke
yet, but it was before phk's "mega commits".
