Ok. The next phase is to try to figure out where it hangs, and since it
happens very early, that's most often most easily done the hard way: add
some code that reboots the machine, and if the machine hangs, you didn't
reach it.
These days there's a slightly easier approach: if you enable PM_TRACE
support (you need to enable PM and PM_DEBUG and EXPERIMENTAL to get it),
you can do
#include <resume-trace.h>
at the top of a file, and add a sprinkling of "TRACE_RESUME(x)" calls
(where "x" is some integer in the range 0-15 that you can use to save off
the iteration count in a loop, for example - leave at 0 if you're not
interested).
And then, when it hangs, once you reboot into the same kernel (without the
"no387", so that it works ;), it should tell you where the last
trace-point was fairly early in the bootup dmesg's.
(It _will_ screw up your time-of-day clock in the process, though, which
is why tracing is so hard to enable on purpose ;)
