The last message I see is "Calibrating delay loop"
(I see this thaks to the Jtag debugger for Elan520 because I haven't configured the VGA board yet).

I've seen this on a board with a BIOS problem. I think it is caused because the Kernel is in a loop waiting for a timer interrupt to occur. If the interrupt never arrives it loops forever.
