I can start Ubuntu if USB is disabled in bios but then the usb keyboard wont work in grub and I cant choose which O/S I want to use.
** Description changed: + Happens with Dapper and more regularly with Edgy. Didn't seem to happen + with Breezy. + My usb keyboard connects to a usb slot in the back of the computer. The mouse connects to a usb slot on the keyboard. When I switch the computer on and try to start Ubuntu it crashes just after grub. The screen goes black and goes into standby mode and the hard disk light stays on. To get the computer to start I can use the following workaround (this is not a fix for the problem as the crashing still happens after Ubuntu is loaded, just not at boot time): 1. Go into the Phoenix Bios 2. load failsafe defaults 3. Go into integrated perhiperals->SIS OnChip PCI Device 4. Enable the following: -SIS USB Controller -USB 2.0 -USB Legacy -USB Mouse -AC '97 Sound 5 Press F10, save the new settings and restart the computer. Ubuntu starts up fine when I do that. Except for an error message saying: "usb 1-1: not accepting addres 2" However, using this workaround Ubuntu crashes at random times when in use. Normally I dont get to use Ubuntu for more than 5 minutes without a crash. The crash is exactly the same sort of crash that I was having at boot time only this time it just happens at random times when Ubuntu is actually loaded. -- usb causes crashing at boot time (partial workaround inlcuded) https://launchpad.net/bugs/78141 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
