After seeing two machines experience these hangs, I was able to reproduce it on a clean hardy install:

1. install hardy (of course)
2. apt-get install ldap-auth-client
3. configure ldap to use (via debconf):
ldap://127.0.0.1/
root requires a password: 'no'
everything else defaults
4. configure /etc/nsswitch.conf to have:
passwd: compat ldap
group: compat ldap
5. configure /boot/grub/menu.lst to have:
# defoptions=
6. update-grub
7. reboot

This is not a 'kernel hang' as it will respond to 'ctrl+alt+delete'. It does stop after kernel logger.
