With hangs like this using the debugger to find out what the kernel
is doing is often the best bet. You'll need to compile the debugger
into the kernel and then leave the server on a vty that doesn't
have X running. When it hangs try breakin into the debugger
(ctl-alt-esc) and get a trace (type trace). You may need to do
this a few times to get an idea of what's going on.

The kernel debugging section of the handbook has more details on
this sort of thing.
