Some things to try:
   - since you were using GENERIC.MP on 4.0.1, I deduce you have a
     multiprocessor machine; does the problem go away if you use
     'cpuctl offline' to drop down to only one cpu?

   - try building and booting a kernel with the DIAGNOSTIC and
     LOCKDEBUG options and see if you get a panic instead of a hang;

Also, if you could provide the dmesg output from bootup it would help
us diagnose the problem.
