Hm, running "discover --module all" on the installed system works fine,
but you experience a hang during the discover startup script? If this is
the case, then there might be two independent problems. 
For the /target chroot I suspect the problem might be that there is no
/proc. Please try to mount a proc filesystem at /target/proc. But then I
don't understand why only you have this problem and it does not occur on
every machine.
