Right, so that wasn't it. I haven't done a full bisect yet because I
noticed it died on a usb suspend line every single time and that machine
only had a single usb device, a memory stick, in it. So I simply pulled
the stick and voila it booted. So something is screwy with usb suspend
or something.

This of course means that I'm now completely unable to reproduce the
issue at hand :/

Maybe if I try another box..

Anyway, Arne, how long did you wait before power cycling the box? The
NMI watchdog should trigger in about a minute or so if it will trigger
at all (its enabled in your config).
