Very strange, can you post your arch (most of all if its a smp system) ?

After the reboot you have nothing in the /var/log/messages ?

If you can, add some printk in the dlfb_probe function to find where
your system hangs. The only "critical" part is here, the rest of
functions only send data to the usb devices.
