Are you sure it's locking up at usb? Most problems with locking up are due to video or scsi in my experience. I'm not sure when (if ever) in the 2.2 series kernels you could pass options, but if you get a recent boot disk you can pass options such as 'noscsi' to skip scsi detection - you could certainly try "linux nousb' [or it might be along the lines of nouhci or noohci etc - tho more likely nousb, if you search google w/ the 'linux boot noscsi' you'll likely find wherever these options come from and get better advice than I can give you :)]
