After days of trying to isolate the problem, the primary suspect is USB UIRT. After installing the usb-uirt drivers and rebooting the computer - if I try to put my computer into hibernate state it hangs at the "Hibernating..." message. This happens even if the device is unplugged. Only after uninstalling the drivers does the computer start hibernating again.
Anyone have any insights on how this can be fixed?
Thanks,

BTW things got worse when I upgraded to XP SP1. If the usb-uirt was plugged in, it would not even boot up - hang at a blank screen. Unplugging the device and rebooting worked fine.
