The "ucode" driver does CPU-related microcode updates at boot time.  I
don't know that area of the code well enough to know whether that's
what's going wrong, or if you possibly have another driver or structural
problem (such as broken BIOS data).

Besides searching for a guru in this area of the code, my next step
would be to boot the kernel under kmdb with "-K", break to a prompt at
the hang, and use $c to find out where it's stuck (and ::threadlist -v
to see what else is going on).  It might show something interesting.
