Cheers, this prevents the machine to hang.
The hang is caused by some interference between the USB and firewire 
modules.
I recognised that the machine hangs when loading the processor module 
when the ehci_hcd or ohci1394 module has been loaded before.
Otherwise everything works fine...

Are there intentions to get this fixed, can I help/provide more info 
somehow?
