It stops after it displays the USB keyboard and mouse devices (per console output).
The keyboard is responsive when it hangs. The driver echoes whatever I type.
But no other effects are evident from typing. For example ^C simply echoes ^C. After waiting about 30 minutes, I had to  Ctrl-Alt-Del  to reboot.

Thank you for your help.
