Greetings,
Often when I build systems with catalyst I encounter the following
kernel freeze after the boot loader has completed:

I had an issue with the same symptoms. It turned out that after some builds,
the initramfs would contain empty files instead of links to busybox.
In my case, the only way I could get it to work consistently was to patch
genkernel to use symbolic links instead, when setting up the initramfs.
It would be nice if you would file a bug about this with as much information as
you have.
