Ok, I think I've finally located the offending command:
modprobe "" usb-ohci
makes the system hang about one second after it returns.
Any ideas what to do now?

I'll post it exactly in a moment, but if I remember correctly, it only
checks whether there was a "nousb" argument specified when booting linux.
2. Running the commands manually in order to identify where exactly it
does hang?
I'll see whether /etc/init.d/usb is at all a script and try running the
commands one by one if it is.
3. strace the offending command?
Since "/etc/init.d/usb" finishes (without an error, too), I doubt stracing
it will provide any useful hints, but I'll try anyway.
4. When you say the machine hang, what does it mean? More specifically,
can you remote login with another machine?
When I say it hangs, I mean that it hangs :-) Pressing caps lock doesn't
change the caps lock light on the keyboard. The mouse cursor doesn't move
when I move the mouse. It doesn't respond to any keys, including ctrl+ald+del.
I have no idea whether I can login remotely with another machine, seeing
as this computer is not connected to anything when booting Linux (the
problem is with the USB *modem*, remember?)

Can you post /etc/init.d/usb? I don't have neither usb nor this script.
Perhaps the modem has some controls which should be looked into (for
example, get identify as 1 rather then 2 - you can see I am clue less
about usb but I hope the basic idea still stands)?
