Indeed, what were the results of appending init=/bin/sh?
That went fine... but what do I do then?
Similarily, one can try booting into single user mode and then reconnect the modem.
Ok, I'll try that, but again - what do I do then? I'm guessing it will hang.
Hmm, I realize this is a poor argument, but everything seems to work fine under Windows.the modem. A painfull way to pin point the offending piece of hardware, assuming that there is one is to remove one device at a time and see what is heppaning. Alternatively one can make his system a minimal one by removing as many devices as possible. Another option is to take the modem to another Linux box. This requires another box of course.
Also, I can't imagine anything but Linux or the modem being the offending "device", seeing as
it boots just fine if the modem isn't plugged in.
The first thing I did when encountering this problem. The only relevant piece is some bug report against RedHat 6.0 or so, and it says it's been fixed.What about doing a web search for `USB Linux' or `USB Linux hang'? Posting to the equivalent of debian-user?
