Hi there, If you search the SuSE knowledge you will find a couple of hits which mention this and similar problems. I know this as I hit exactly the same problem as you! From what I can recall, I worked around it by turning off USB Hotplug support in /etc/sysconfig/hotplug and adding the necessary USB drivers (hardware speicific) to the initial ramdisk. If you still have problems, let me know and I will check back thro my notes to find out exactly what I did. Kind regards, Simon Peer Stefan wrote:
hi
From: Kees Bergwerf [mailto:c.bergwerf@hccnet.nl] I have updated my SuSE 7.3 to SuSE 8.0
suse changed a lot since 7.3 - it's not advisable to use the update option (from my experience).
When I did reboot my system, it did hang at /etc/hotplug
i had similar problems when i tried the update.
The screen showed: Starting hotplugging services [USB
and then nothing..
So I disabled that script. But I think I will need USB very soon, so I like to boot with that hotplug script active.
try starting the script by hand (rchotplug start) and see what's happening. check the syslog (/var/log/messages) and see what's causing the error.
Can anybody give me a hint where to look? I have usb at my system, but nothing is connected to an USB port.
Kees
