Maybe you should try it again, and hit several review keys once it hangs.  
Alternatively, hit the shutup key (numpad enter) as soon as it starts 
talking, wait a while, and then try to read something.

Maybe the fact that brltty doesn't show anything is unrelated--you are 
changing kernel versions, after all.

Just a thought.
