Distro is RH FC1, running SysVinit-2.85-5. dmesg, sysrq-T and .config are at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/log-vmm - nothing leaps out. This is the second time recently when a patch has caused this machine to oddly hang in init. It's possible that there's a bug of some form in that version of init that we'll need to know about and take care of in some fashion. (I verified the hang with just -linus+this, so it's not related to any other -mm things).
