You could try "knoppix nohwsetup", then manually load necessary modules
for usb stick access:
modprobe usb-[uhci|ohci]
modprobe usb-storage

sync-mount the usb stick:
mount -t vfat -o sync /dev/sda1 /mnt/test

and run hwsetup in strace:
strace -f -F -v -s 128 -o /mnt/test/hwsetup.trace hwsetup -v

When the system hangs, unplug the usb stick and inspect the file
hwsetup.trace somewhere else. (you may want to dosfsck the usb stick
first)

bye,
  Chris
