It seems to happen every so often. One way to get round this is to
disble rc.hotplug. Here's a paraphased quote from Message-ID:
<pan.2003.09.16.10.21.53.921449@desktop.local>

| Try booting from the install CD, switch to another tty, then:
| mount /dev/XXX /mnt
| chmod -x /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug
| umount /mnt
| reboot

| If that works, find out which module appears to be causing the reboot,
| put the module-name in '/etc/hotplug/blacklist' and be a happy camper.

(Thanks menno).

If you're a new user, and have just installed 9.1, you may find it
easier to redo the install, making sure to answer no when you're asked
if you want to enable hotplug support.
