It seems USB is innocent here as upon turning it back on in BIOS USB mesages
are intermixed with ATA ones .. here are the last 4 before hang:

uhub2: <Intel UHCI root HUB, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus2
(aprobe0:ata0:0:1:0): SIGNATURE: eb14
ugen3.1: <Intel> at usbus3
uhub3: <Intel EHCI root HUB, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus3

I waited several minutes but no progress, it seems stuck.

PS: This laptop is Asus W1N with following specs: Pentium M, 1GB RAM, 80GB
HDD, Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K14AS, Intel 82801DBM Ultra ATA Storage Controller -
24CA, Intel 82801DB/DBM USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD.
