Description Orion Poplawski 2008-02-12 16:14:46 UTC

Description of problem:

This is relatively new - a couple of weeks ago this took a few seconds, but it
did continue.  Now it hangs completely.

I'm generating live usb images from current rawhide.  Boot on eeepc (haven't
tried anything else lately) hangs at:

usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

It appears to find the device fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.24.1-28.fc9

How reproducible:
Every time.

I don't understand "it appears to find the device fine". What "it"?

Why don't you boot without "quiet" on the command line and then
snap a picture?

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2008-02-12 20:23:53 UTC

"it" being the kernel - earlier on the screen you see the USB device being detected.

Without quiet on the command line I get:

usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.
no root yet, udev rule will write symlink...

waiting up to 60 seconds before dropping to emergency shell.
.


and it hangs there.

Tested on another machine and it boots.

Sorry, this is a side effect of other problems with livecd-creator

Glad to hear that. It was a puzzle for me.
