that's the first output from userland to /dev/console.  the
"root fs" one is from the kernel.

so, it sounds like the console output device is hanging when
userland uses it... perhaps writes one byte, and that byte is
never ack'd so, it spins waiting for ever to write the next
one?  i am guessing here.
