You could try booting in single user mode, then uninstalling hotplug.
Though it seams that the lines you mention are from the kernel usb
driver and not from hotplug (it is possible that it is hotplug which
is loading them, I am not certain). The fact that your system just
stops seems indicative of a bigger problem with your usb controller or
one of the attached usb devices though (probably a hardware problem).
Alternatively, the wrong driver might be loaded for an attached device
or the controller itself, which hangs everything.
Anyway, if you do boot in single user mode, look at /etc/modules and
see if any usb drivers are listed there, comment them out then. And
remove hotplug (or just change the startup links in rc.6). If discover
is installed, might wanna remove that too.
just google for booting linux in single user mode for instructions for
both lilo and grub.
