Hi Richard, thanks for your reply, and apologies for taking my time, but this ubuntu-box is not my main PC and I had loads waiting on the other machine. And lastly I seem to have been a bit premature in declaring that it *never* advances past that USB hurdle. Leaving it sitting there for a good few minutes does indeed advance it to the next boot step.
On recovery console the response to dmesg | grep mouse is: [17179572.784000] mice : PS/2 mouse device common for all mice (curious as there is no PS/2 device connected at this boot) cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep mice gives: (**) Configured Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/mice" (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" and cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep mouse gives: (II) LoadModule: "mouse" (II) Loadin /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so (II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation" (==) NV(0): Silken mouse enabled Looking through the dmesg output the line after it stalls on the boot process says: [17179830.976000] Attempting manual resume So I reckon it is usable to a fashion, I just have to give it time to boot. Like my trusty diesel car. Nevertheless, any suggestions for improving the boot time would be greatly appreciated. And sorry again for the semi-false alarm!
