Why didn't it come up in an xterm?  Did you put 'no-xterm' on the command line?

In any case '-o' on the minicom command line will stop it from trying to init 
the modem.

If you really can't get the console to respond, gdb the tracing thread and 
'printf "%s", log_buf'.  This will dump the contents of the kernel log.  Maybe 
there's something strange there.

Also put 'debug' on the kernel command line, and when it hangs, ^C the gdb and 
'bt' to see what it thinks is up.
