i am curious, do you also have a usb mouse or something similar?
Nope, the USB modem is the only USb device I have.
I'm not sure of that... Actually, I'm pretty sure it is something connected to USB.if not, how can u be sure its not something connected to ur usb? i.e not that it is defective, but rather that linux have problem with your chipset.
See my last post... It doesn't seem like the problem is in the code that does "Finding module dependencies", but instead in /etc/init.d/usbalso, if u remove the modules related to the usb modem, when it does depmod, is it still getting stuck? if still it freezes, see if it is possible to go further and remove usb related modules, and see if it then freezes. if still it freezes, i think u need to recompile the kernel from a vanilla kernel. and try module/static compilations and see if it helps.
