Comment 7 for bug 120163

I tried recreating this with a Prolific usb to serial bridge, lsusb device id 067b:2303, connected to a USB hub, device id 058f:9254, on Hardy Heron using kernel version 2.6.24 and my system booted normally - it didn't take forever. Without more information about your environment it is hard to say whether or not this bug is fixed so I am marking it as Invalid. Thanks for taking the time to report this bug though.
