There have been no post-2.6.18-rc1 commits yet.

Nope.  Is the hang during initial bootup or during modprobing?

If during initial bootup, try adding initcall_debug to the boot command line.

If modular, work out which module is being bad?

It might be the cm_sbs driver.  (initcall_debug will point at
acpi_cm_sbs_init()).  If so, this'll help.
