The kernel is almost never hung in prom_init(), it's just that it's crashed somewhere after prom_init() but prior to the console coming up. The existing message should give a clue to that, ie. "returning from" indicates that prom_init() has finished, but it doesn't seem to work. Let's try something different. This prints: Quiescing Open Firmware ... Booting Linux via __start() ... Which hopefully makes it clear that prom_init() is not the problem, and although __start() probably isn't either, it's at least the right place to begin looking.
