I'm quitting for the night now, but I see that
the string "nous" is followed by a "b" in the
immediately following word. Put this together
and you have "nousb" (read as turn off USB).
Given that the "Driver 'xxx' needs updating"
are for 'usbfs', 'hub', and 'usb', and given
that usb is very related to hotplug, the string
"nousb" where a pair of function pointers should
be is suspicious (though it may also be a complete
coincidence).
I'll try turning off CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI tomorrow.
