Description of problem: ----------------------- Hardware detection hangs with a Microsoft IntelliMouse wireless USB mouse connected. This appears in two different places: (1) During installation at an early stage where the /sbin/loader (I hope I got this name correctly) appears to be about to start. (2) During ordinary start of the installed system. In this situation it is kudzu that doesn't terminate thus hanging the system. No messages are displayed in any case although I've been waiting for several minutes. Replacing the IntelliMouse with an ordinary PS/2 mouse works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Core 3 release as downloaded on Nov. 22 (two days ago) How reproducible: ----------------- Three times out of three Steps to Reproduce: ------------------- 1. Attach the mouse 2. Boot on FC3 CD 1 3. Press <enter> at the installation prompt to start installation 4. The process stops (hangs) after a few seconds Additional info: ---------------- System information: -IBM PC300 -Intel Celeron-500MHz -256MB RAM -Windows 98 installed on primary partition -Previously had Redhat 9 on secondary partition(s) The mouse works flawlessly on both Win98 and RedHat 9 (and Redhat 7 before that).
Does it hang post-boot if you run it then? If so, can you get a strace?
Created attachment 107518 [details] Result of 'strace kudzu 2> kudzu.out' I booted FC3 in 'single' mode and ran kudzu with strace. The result is attached.
Oh, and one more thing related to the strace attached above: kudzu still hangs when started this way and I aborted it after some minutes with ctrl-C. Let me know if I can provide further useful information.
It's hanging reading /proc/bus/usb/devices.
