Ok, so some other thing. Can you please leave out DOpE and try without?
Please add VGA and PS/2/Keyboard support to your L4Linux configuration.
You can also use the x86-native_defconfig configuration to achieve the
same.
Hopefully the behaviour will be different with such a setup. 
If it still hangs I would like to see a Alt-Print-p and Alt-Print-t
(SysRQs...).

I see nothing obvious wrong in your attached .config.
