Hm, I use a PS/2 Keyboard, a Logitech USB Optical Wheel Mouse, an LG 
USB DVD-RW, a HP DJ845C USB printer, a USB HDD (in general 
disconnected) and a Kobil USB Smartcard Reader. I will try to remove 
all unnecessary USB devices (leave out the mouse). Funny thing is, 
that I do not have problems booting other Linuxes. My Gentoo works 
fine, Knoppix boots fine (of course) and even Breezy worked fine. I 
wanted to upgrade to Dapper and the reboot did not work. A new clean 
installation of (K)Ubuntu will not work either (as described in my 
previous mail), all hanging at the same point.

ok, seems that my USB2-HUB is causing the problem.  I can boot kubuntu 
if I disconnect the HUB, let kubuntu boot and reconnect it.
Here the output from usbview:

Any idea how I can verify where excactely this problem is and what I 
can do so I do not need the manual workaround?
