Well OK, maybe this will fix it. After actually looking at 15682
I cannot see any mention of the machine hanging or the errors described
above. Since switching kernels fixes the problem, it would seem more
logical that something changed when the kernel versions changed. Since there
is a lot going on here that I do not understand, I suppose it could be a udev
problem.

Only time and some new packages will tell. :-)
