I have debugged this some more. I'm able to boot, if I boot from serial
console and am careful not to tickle the vga driver too much i.e.
interact with the machine over the network or over the serial console.
The moment I try to do anything on vga consoles, I get a hang.
Another observation: even when booting from the serial console, when the
vga driver probes/attaches the hardware, I see garbage written on my vga
console.
I tested that 11/25 kernel also has this problem. The problem didn't
happen with DP1.
