The offending code is in hcd-pci.c - which
seems to be executed unconditionally. usb_hcd_pci_probe() calls
pci_enable_device() which hangs if there was already a device present,
attached to the controller.
Have you attempted more generic fix-hardware-hang solutions? I've known
more than a few times where a good old "noapic nolapic" snapped a box
out of some strange and seemingly unrelated problems...
Also, is your BIOS fully up to date/modern? A quick Google search found
a few things like this:

The problem might be more generic than a bad interaction between drive
and kernel.
