Fedora core 3 (and other linuxes) freezes on plugging in the usb
camera (or other usb stuff)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Very. 

Steps to Reproduce:

And linux freezes ...

Expected results:
The usb camera shoud be mounted.

Additional info:
I don't know what usb legacy is. 
I didn't even knew it existed.

Assigning to kernel.

Comment 2 Pete Zaitcev 2005-08-18 17:57:18 UTC

Actually, contemporary Fedora attempts to switch the legacy off through
the "handover" mechanism. But naturally, a BIOS dumb enough to freeze
often fails to implement handover properly as well.
