That's something which must not happen. All it does is walk the resource tree
and print it.

Is it a real lock up, or a panic (probably with NULL pointer dereference or bad
address access)? /proc/iomem works on both my m68k Amiga and my PPC CHRP box.

Can you add debugging code in kernel/resource.c:do_resource_list(), so we know
where it happens? If /proc/iomem doesn't work, changes are high that your box
will crash also when some driver wants to use the resource tree.
