Description of problem:
Everytime I boot RH7.2 I get a kernel panic right after starting up USB
related services

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot Linux, any init level


Actual Results:  kernel panic, no useful backtrace data.  but always a
panic after stating USB.  EG. mouse-light goes on, and kernel panic. 
Install works fine though

Expected Results:  normal boot, with USB

Additional info:

I have a VIA KT133A based mobo(ga-zxr 3.0) with USB.  As well as a USB mouse

Does it print any lines wit
0010:<number>
or
0068:<number> in it ?
does it boot if you pass "nousb" as option in grub/lilo ?
same for "nobiospnp"
Comment 2 Mark Robinson 2001-08-15 08:40:36 UTC 
the error prints out register info as well as
[<ec9089b2>],...
like messages

I can't test it any furthur as I have installed Debian, maybe in a week I'll try
it again.

If the interest is lost, I have no choice but to close.
