I'm not at the machine atm, I can try this later, but what happened is
this:

---
Setting up discover...
Startup links already created...

Detecting hardware: 
---

And that's where it hung, didn't say anything after that.  Over on the
console I did a ps auwx and saw 'discover --module all' in the process
list.  I think I tried to put 'all' in the 'skip' list next, but that
didn't work ether, so I just hacked the postinst and set MODULES="". And
commented out the discover --module all run (iirc).
