Freeze at "Freeing init memory"
Today I was prodding a machine and the Linux kernel on it got as far as "Freeing init memory: 64k" and seemed to stop. Googling didn't help... the eventual explanation was that I'd created /dev/console as a block device instead of a character device. That exact issue is unlikely to help anyone else, but the general issue might: if you see this, something about the output is probably stuffed..
