Hi, I had a similar problem until I did this: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/usb80.html If this doesn't help, go to the SuSE SDB and do a search for 'USB'. http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/ Regards Q On Sat, 2002-08-31 at 01:02, Hulslander, Ryan wrote:

This is bizarre. Sometimes the machine will boot just fine and gets through "Starting hot-plugging services". Sometimes it boots up and gets to:

[net pci usb

and just hangs and I have to cold-power cycle the box. About one out of every 5-8 boots it'll make it all the way through. Now, if I disable USB on the motherboard, (Soyo Dragon Ultra KY333), it'll pass it with "failed", but since I don't use any USB devices I'm not as concerned. However, it worries me that this section will only work on occasion. Any ideas? I can't see any boot log after the box hangs and I have to reset it, so I can't tell what its issue is. I've tried enabling/disabling Plug-n-Play, etc., to no avail.

If anyone has any clues on this I would be forever in your debt.

Thanks!
