boot normally. It hangs right after "Booting the kernel" with the only message

    cpualloc: the allocator
    
    The per cpu allocator allows dynamic allocation of memory on all
    processors simultaneously.  A bitmap is used to track used areas.  The
    allocator implements tight packing to reduce the cache footprint and
    increase speed since cacheline contention is typically not a concern for
    memory mainly used by a single cpu.  Small objects will fill up gaps left
    by larger allocations that required alignments.
    
    The size of the cpu_alloc area can be changed via the percpu=xxx kernel
    parameter.
