Bug#293194: Same here with kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7
Version: 2.6.8-13
Followup-For: Bug #293194
Hi.
I experienced the same problem.
Had already reported this here : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272233&msg=4 but I think it was not reported in the right place, as it is closer from your report, I think.
Anyway, I tried and get some debug information on what's happening at boot.
I added a set -x in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc and it appears that the script hangs on a :
grep -q -i bus /proc/bus/usb/devices
This very same problem seems to be reported on various places, but I couldn't find any definitive solution provided.
Several links that may be of interest though :

Also maybe the same problem and a suggested correction patch :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=277835
The patch : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=109241303306477&w=2 (which I've hadn't time to test yet).
And https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=135171 maybe ?
FYI, it seems to be working much better if my Philips USB webcam and my firewire external hard-disk are unplugged at boot time.
Hope this helps.
I'll try and give the patch a try to see if it helps.
Best regards,
