Myles and Knut, Thanks! I'll probe these ideas and see what happens.
Another data point: It _does_ continue after the hang, but it takes about an hour. I image each memory write is timing out so a bunch of writes via memset drags the total timeout to an hour. At that point we try to load the payload so it seems that I am really really close to the end here....
This sounds kinda familiar. Can you check if it is related to http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bios/57707 -- do the patches there help any?
Doesn't look like it. We are getting hosed (consuming an hour's worth of time) between the printk of 'Clearing memory...' and the printk of 'Done.' The only thing between those two printk's is a memset.
