Linux freezes when it is scanning for USB devices on my computer.

**jamesrage** · 08-03-2005

About almost every version of linux that I have tried to install or run on my computer always seems to freeze while scanning for USB devices during the boot process.I tried redhat(fedora core 2 and 3),yopper,and many others.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Do you have any usb devices plugged in while the computer is booting?
If so, have you tried removing them?

Good Luck.

Will I be able to plug the USB devices back in once the computer is finished with the boot process?

Sorry for the late question I just got off work.

**warrion_2000** · 08-04-2005

Ofcourse you will. What device is it, anyway?

Hope your problem gets solved.

Hope your problem gets solved

Still no luck.Instead of freezing during the USB scan if freezes after the hardware configuration.

That is really weird. Do you have Windows on your computer aswell? If so, does that boot properly? I'm really confused. Have you tried reinstalling?

I have had this problem before as well, with Knoppix. It seemed when I had my usb keyboard and PS/2 mouse plugged in it didn't work. But if I went with usb keyboard and usb mouse it was ok, or conversely if I ran PS/2 mouse and non-usb keyboard it was ok.

I have this exact problem, ill try to remove my usb mouse, but i think its my sata drive cause it shows in windows under usb stuff even though it's internal. Seems linux isn't that great with sata drives.
