Ok, here are the (mighty weird) results:

1. When booting with "linux init=/bin/bash", typing "lspci | grep USB" gives the following:
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 01c1 (rev c3)
00:03.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 01c1 (rev c3)

2. When booting with the modem unplugged, typing "lspci | grep USB" gives the following:
00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 01c1 (rev c3)
00:03.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 01c1 (rev c3)

3. When commenting out the following lines from my rc.sysinit file:
if [ -L /lib/modules/default ]; then
INITLOG_ARGS= action "Finding module dependencies: " depmod -A default
else
INITLOG_ARGS= action "Finding module dependencies: " depmod -A
fi
booting gets hung at "Starting up APM daemon".

4. (The weirdest part) When, in the forementioned lines I added "strace" before "depmod" (after uncommenting of course), the "Finding module dependencies" operation finished (with a lot of text flying by) and then booting got hung at "Enabling swap space".


Puzzled as ever,
Alexander Maryanovsky.

After booting with the modem unplugged or after booting with "init=/bin/bash" ?
I'll try both in the meanwhile...


Is this crashing problem happening to you with windows 98 when you try to shut down?
Well, I'm running win2k, and no, I'm not having any such problems with it. Also, note that it's not crashing - it's hanging.

I just installed Mandrake 9 at work and used the script to connect to the net
(still need to tweak it a bit, SuSE 8.0 doesn't like it so much..) and I used
the Rotal ADSL modem, without any problem..

Mind doing: /sbin/lspci | grep USB and post the results please? Is this
crashing problem happening to you with windows 98 when you try to shut down?

Thanks,
Hetz
