Don't be disappointed. Not only we are busy, we also don't see the
problem, because the hurd works just fine for us. If nobody answers,
this usually means: "Nobody knows".
I can only advise you to remove as much cards as possible,
and try with a minimal system. And if that doesn't work, insert
printk statements in the kernel to see where exactly it halts.
