Now i understand your point.But there is no switch for a usb controller in my bios(or is there another way that i dont know how to disable it?)With two other distros,JBLinux and Peanut i had no problem with the partition check process,it just printed a few messages and then went on.Nevertheless i think i would use one of the alt kernels for now.If you hear smth about the subject iwould be pleased to hear about it.
