It sounds like this is a regression between 3.0.13 and 3.0.20.  Can
you please open a bug report here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Drivers&component=PCI

and attach dmesg or serial console logs with "debug ignore_loglevel
initcall_debug" for both kernels?  For 3.0.20 you probably can't get a
dmesg log because of the hang, so a digital photo would be fine, too.

Thanks,
  Bjorn
