Sometimes it goes a little bit further but hangs nearly at calling init...

Is there something tagged __init that should not be? Or does some of the
new SCSI stuff breaks (swap on sda1, ...).

Keyboard still gets interrupt (CAPS lock led), but nothing happens. Like
if there was a deadlock. No kdbg...


How about the following patch?

OK this time, I used the correct original file, applied your patch. But it does not help. This time it freeze immediately after :
Freeing unused kernel memory: 216k freed.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion and sorry for the mistake on using the wrong version of init/main.c (after partially reverse applying the possible incorrect patch).
