Description Marco Ostini 2003-12-02 05:42:47 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US;
rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Description of problem:
Booting from Disc 1 promps you with the boot options, after selecting
any option the kernel hangs after it detects usb hardware:

...
ehci-hcd 00:1d.7: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2003-Jan-22
hub.c USB hub found
hub.c 6 ports detected
host/usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 17:30:50 Oct  2 2003
host/usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled
host/usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xd800, IRQ 9
host/usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports

{at this point it hangs}

The boot CD's are made from iso's that have had their md5 checksum
checked. Booting on other systems works fine.

The Workstation is an Acer Veriton 3500, apparently RedHat certified
hardware:

http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/?pagename=details&hid=4603

If I turn USB off in the BIOS the system boots normally, but without
support for USB devices, like mice, etc.

This workstation has been running RH 8.0 and other versions without
problems or BIOS settings changes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
uname -a provides; Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.21-4ELBOOT #1 Fri Oct 3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot from the CD-Drive
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Booting Hangs

Expected Results:  Booting should progress through to next menu - hard
to install without getting to that next stage.

Please try to boot and install with "nousb" option, or with USB
turned off (with a borrowed keyboard). If succeed, check if
a normal (non-BOOT) kernel hangs in the same place.


Comment 2 Pete Zaitcev 2004-08-10 19:31:22 UTC
I'm not kidding, I need to reproduce this outside of the installer
environment.
