This hang is also characteristic of the ADFS problem.
I don't think anything is going to change until someone fixes this
kernel bug.
Is there more than one facit to this bug? The reports I've found all
seems to say it is with a blank disk. In this case the virtual
disk is partitioned and has a valid ext4 and a swap partition
on it and only lacks the boot MBR and grub set up.
