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.
							Thanks,
								Petr Vandrovec
