One more time, for the record. If the kernel hangs after printing out a line, that's NOT the device that caused trouble. The lines are printed out mean "I did this", not "I'm about to do this." This should be obvious if you think about it, network cards print out their MAC addresses. How could the kernel do that if the device wasn't attached yet? [There are some more details, but that's the high level.] The reason disabling the last line /sometimes/ works is that if it's a bus, you then prevent probing of all the attached devices.
