After reading an ADC which triggered system hang and from there every time I try boot I run into this hardware error message. I reinstall the SDCard but it didn't do anything.

Congratulations, you managed to make the USB driver crash.

- What USB devices are attached to the Pi? If you can't get that Pi to boot, do you have another that you can use? .I need some debug output from a Pi with the devices attached.

Is it worth bothering since the OP is running a pre-cambrian 3.6.11+ kernel, probably before all the USB driver re-writes?

But i already reinstalled the SDCARD the whole OS including all the drivers. How could be driver crashed?

anyway, I took out the USB hub and sure enough it's booted fine. Thanks.

Try
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo rpi-update
sudo reboot

Then boot with your HUB connected again.

That's a point.

lilzz, what image are you writing to the SD card with? Is there any reason why you're not using the latest (which has a 3.12 kernel)?

I did a recovery whatever it came with the original OS.
