Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7 Version: 2.6.8-13 Followup-For: Bug #293194
Hi. I experienced the same problem. Had already reported this here : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272233&msg=4 but I think it was not reported in the right place, as it is closer from your report, I think. Anyway, I tried and get some debug information on what's happening at boot. I added a set -x in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc and it appears that the script hangs on a : grep -q -i bus /proc/bus/usb/devices This very same problem seems to be reported on various places, but I couldn't find any definitive solution provided. Several links that may be of interest though : http://sysadminforum.com/showthread.php?s=026cf0eaa04824d8e2a7205bf4beb535&p=459910&mode=threaded#post459910 Also maybe the same problem and a suggested correction patch : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=277835 The patch : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=109241303306477&w=2 (which I've hadn't time to test yet). And https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=135171 maybe ? FYI, it seems to be working much better if my Philips USB webcam and my firewire external hard-disk are unplugged at boot time. Hope this helps. I'll try and give the patch a try to see if it helps.
