There should be an indication of what device it's trying to probe when the hang
occurs. Reboot and select the option to modify the kernel configuration before
continuing. This will place you in the kernel configuration editor. Type "v"
to get the visual editor (easier to use), find the device that's causing the
hang and disable it. Then continue with the boot process.
