I had a similar problem with a Noname board. It was on and off,
though: I could boot the system maybe every tenth time or so. 9 out
of 10 times it would just hang at the same spot as you indicate above.
Furthermore, I also tried with SRM and it didn't really work any
better. Eventually, I had the board exchanged and since then it works
fine. That as much as I know.
