Removing it has no effect. I have to turn off computer FC1 and RH9 works fine in same PC (USB-1.1 uhci-hcd module) I've tried also acpi=off (as read somewhere). Still freezes Seems that hotplug detect insertion ( some times syslog shows standard -but incomplete- message on usb-storage detection ), but device cannot be initialized as sda1 preload of usb-storage modules doesn't change matter I also have in the system a sym53c8xx SCSI PCI card with no devices attached. module is preloaded in initrd Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.667 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start FC3 either in graphic or text mode 2.Plug a usb memory stick 3. Actual Results: System freezes. Sometimes a truncated log is shown in console Expected Results: pendrive automounted as /media/USBDISK Additional info: Here comes log from inserting event in a working RH9 environment: with first pendrive (Woxter) ..............

rmmod'ing sym53c8xx and scsi stuff has no effect: system still freezes
More info: this is the malfunctioning device: ( VIA motherboard ) 00:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 1a) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. (Wrong ID) USB Controller Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 I/O ports at d400 [size=32] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 I've been reported this problem in other intel machines.
