If there is no usb, then no usb modules should be loaded. The hotplug subsystem
only loads drivers for which it finds a device on the system (in this case,
based on the PCI device/vendor ID's).

I think your problem is related to something else. Please see:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSystemCrash

And try to gather some more information about the crash. Please use latest
breezy for these tests. You can use the liveCD if you do not want to do an
install/upgrade.
