No, not funny at all ;o)=)
This or something similar cost me the whole night.
I also am in the process of setting up my new 1.4_rc2 system (hi,
gentooers!)
In doing so, I also installed a USB device for the first time: my mouse
(Logitech Wingman, in Debian I had it run as PS/2 with adapter)
I compiled, installed and inserted the modules (input, mousedev,
usb-uhci, hid; usb-core [CONFIG_USB] was already compiled into the
kernel), following the excellent Gentoo Desktop Configuration Guide.
Everything went well. So I, following the guide, put this into
/etc/modules.autoload:
usbmouse
mousedev
hid
input
(I don't know if this is the right order, but this is what the Desktop
guide seemed to say. The echo line given in listing 2.10 didn't make
sense to me and neither did it work)
Some time later I rebooted and the kernel hung, seemingly at "NET4: Unix
domain sockets", but still with a blinking cursor. Boot sequence up to
this point was eepro, agpart, usb, NET4, IP: Protocols, IP: Routing
table, TCP: Hash table, NET4: Unix domain sockets -> hang)
I then proceeded to boot with the Gentoo install disk, chrooted into my
installed system, emerged ck-sources, vanilla-sources,
lolo-sources-{r1,r2}, and tried to narrow down what happened with a lot
of different configs each.
As it turned out, when I removed the modules from modules.autoload and
unplugged the mouse, the kernel booted (sorry, don't know if unplugging
alone had worked too, had not the nerves for another try)
I now also have usb-core as a module, but don't know if this changes
anything, since I haven't rebooted since then (my nerves again :)
My MB is an Asus P4PE (Intel 845PE chipset, USB is UHCI)
Seems like a kernel prob to me. Although I found some USB-related hangs
on lkml, nothing was quite that. If somebody can confirm this or point
me to a config error on my side, I'd be grateful.
Cheers, M.
