Description of problem: I'm trying to boot and install Fedora 7 live on my PC, but it freeze at boot. I think that i've found what the problem is: the external drive (live drive) of the "soundblaster audigy 2 platinum ex" soundcard. If the live drive is connected to the soundcard, the system alt at the "udev" step. If I don't connect the live drive to the soundcard the system boot without problems, and I can install it. But if I try to connect the live drive to the soundcard, the system freeze in few seconds. I booted, used and installed many other live CD (Fedora 6 live, Ubuntu 7.04, PCLinucOS 2007, Sabayonis 3.3) without problems. How reproducible: Ever Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot withe the live drive connected or 2. connect live drive after boot

Actually probably is it better refer to the drive as "external drive" and not as "live drive". The previous versions of the external drive are called "live drive", the Audigy 2 platinum ex hasn't "live drive" written on the rack, it's the same as the Audigy 4 drive. For clarity I attached a image.
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. If you are able to download Fedora 8 Test 2 Live cd from: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/Download and test with this, it will enable us to hopefully debug your problem before Fedora 8 final is released. Please close this bug if it is no longer an issue for you. If no information is added I will happily close it in a week or so. Cheers Chris
