I think the Nuclear Navy guys I work with would appreciate debugging w/ morse code.

Couldn't you have also used kdprintf() and then used one of the utilities that displays kdprintf()s to a window? (Since writing to the window is asynchronous to the kdprintf()s, the output would trail the execution location in the USB/debug stack. In order to handle that you might be able to follow the kdprintf()s with KeDelayExecution (or similar) to make sure the kdprintf()s get written before the hang occurs.)

The problem occurred too early in the boot process to use tools like DebugView.
