I observed the udevd loop with only one Western Digital My Passport 0748
2TB USB 3.0 disk connected.

Title:
  [Dell PowerEdge R510] Regression: Kernel 3.2.0-64 fails to boot with
  USB3 controller card

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A routine system update of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to kernel 3.2.0-64
  resulted in unbootable system on two machines. Further testing
  revealed that kernel fails while initializing HighPoint RocketU 1144C
  USB 3.0 controller. This is a PCIe x4 add-in card that contains four
  USB 3.0 ports, each equipped with its own controller. The card did and
  does work without any problems with kernel 3.2.0-63 and earlier. Prior
  to installing kernel 3.2.0-64 there were neither hardware nor software
  problems with either of the machines.

  Steps to reproduce:
  apt-get dist-upgrade
  sync
  reboot
  Result: system fails to boot.

  The workaround is to revert to kernel 3.2.0-63 or to remove the
  RocketU card.

  Hardware description (same on both machines):
  Dell PowerEdge R510
  PERC6/i RAID controller
  64GB RAM DDR3 ECC registered
  Dual CPU: Intel Xeon X5660 2.80GHz
  HighPoint RocketU 1144C 4-Port USB 3.0 PCIe 2.0 x4 HBA

  Operating system (identical on both machines):
  Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
  Linux 3.2.0-64-generic x86_64

  Drives:
  sda - logical drive on PERC6/i, OS
  sdb - logical drive on PERC6/i, data
  sdc - Areca 5040 external RAID connected by USB3 to RocketU card
  sdd - Areca 5040 external RAID connected by USB3 to RocketU card
  sde - Areca 5040 external RAID connected by USB3 to RocketU card

  Symptoms:
  System boots normally until initialization of Areca drives connected to the RocketU card. The following messages are displayed on screen when booting without quiet and with debug options. These are last messages of a "typical" part of the boot sequence. Following it is a ~2 minute lag when no messages are displayed.

  [Please note that no trace of the boot progress gets recorded in
  system logs, and messages on screen scroll very fast. I had to record
  the boot progress with a high framerate camera, and even so some
  messages scrolled too fast and were not recorded. The following is a
  manual transcript of fragments of these videos; please forgive
  inevitable typos.]

  After a two minute delay, the following messages appear in an infinite
  loop.  Please note that these messages appear in a somewhat random
  sequence, and not all messages appear on every boot. The only thing
  that works at this point is Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

  After pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the above messages continue to appear
  for a few seconds, and after that the following messages are
  displayed:

  After the last message screen goes blank and machine reboots.

  Additional note:
  Not sure if this is related, but while looking for existing bug reports, I have found several posts about kernel 3.2.0-64 regressing in USB 3.0 support:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/software-center/+bug/1328883

  Note about attachments:
  Due to kernel 3.2.0-64 not being able to boot, the attached command output was obtained using kernel 3.2.0-63.
