Correction: it happens regardless.
So to summarise everything so far:
There are two times when the kernel freezes:
1. during the start of cupsd in rc2, after starting xdm, acpid,
cpufreqd.
2. at the end of rc0/6, when it says "restarting system". The
scroll-lock/caps-lock leds briefly flash after "will now
restart", then "restarting system" is printed, and it hangs.
I managed to get rid of (1) in a number of ways:
a. start xdm at S99
b. start acpid as a child of strace
(2) only happens when X has not been started.
So today I started experimenting with acpi=off and found that (1)
now also does not happen anymore, but that (2) does.
Then I removed acpi=off and found that (1) also does not happen
anymore. (2) still happens.
Fun.
