Hello, today my system hung during boot, while loading ftdi_sio & loop - I have two ftdi serial ports, and apparently this tricked udevd to start two concurrent modprobes for them - so I ended up with strance "ftdi_sio: gave up waiting for init of module usbserial." for each symbol it tried to import, until I kill-9 process 3137 (see below). After that loop got loaded, and second ftdi's load finished as well.
Unfortunately I do not have stacktraces of hung modprobe processes. Maybe next time, but it does not look very reproducible. Kernel is current git (2.6.24, ed50d6cbc394cd0966469d3e249353c9dd1d38b9), udev is Debian's 0.114-2, and module-init-tools are Debian's 3.3-pre11-4. Kernel is 64bit amd64 with almost all debugging enabled, userspace is 32bit.
