I have a UK 900 EEE. I have been using Ubuntu EEE 8.04 Live distribution on a 4GB USB stick, created with UNetbootlin.
If I plug in the 4GB USB stick in the left side USB slot and plug in a logitec marble mouse in one of the right hand USB slots, then I cannot get the 4GB USB stick to show up when pressing Esc to get the boot menu. If I place both the 4GB stick and mouse in the right hand USB slots, the 4GB stick appears in the boot menu and runs Ubuntu EEE just fine. I did how ever get an odd occasion when rebooting where it didnt matter what USB slot I used, I could not boot of the 4GB stick. Switching off for about a minute always fixed it though. -- Not booting if SDHC and USB MOUSE is plugged in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Eee Coders, which is a bug assignee. Status in Ubuntu Eee: New Bug description: What we got here: GERMAN eee PC G4 Model 701 1GB RAM, 16GB SDHC FlashCard some optical USB Mouse (Fujitsu-Siemens which is a Logitech) Ubuntu 7.10 installed + ubuntu eee script 1.0 Problem: i figured out a problem that ubuntu does not boot properly if my SDHC Card and some USB Mouse is plugged into my eee PC. If i unplug the USB Mouse BEVORE booting anything wents fine! Connecting the Mouse after a proper boot will be fine too. But rebooting or booting with USE Mouse plugged will lead into an interuption of the boot process at some point where the filesystem on the Flash-Card should get mounted. this happens while ubuntu boot screen progress-bar is about 20% or so. after few secs it aborts and drops to TEXT-Console reporting an ERROR not finding the Partition on the Flash-CArd. This is what it Reports in Detail: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Checking too file system... /dev/sda1 clean *checking filesystems... fsck.ext2: unable to resolve 'UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' fsck died with exit Status 8 *file system check failed *a maintenance shell will now be started CTRL+D will terminate this shell and resume boot # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ if i now do a "mount" i can see there is no FlashDrive mounted as it should be automounted at /FLASH directory. so there is none yet. But if i do now a "mount -a" it will mount without any complains and a "mount" will show me the /FLASH is up and running properly!! So whats that ?! 1. booting with no mouse >>> anything is fine! system boots up perectly 2. booting with USB mouse >>> Drops into maintenance mode, complaining that it wont find the right partition on my flash-drive to mount 3. doing a manual "mount -a" in just the same maintenance menu mounts the flash drive without error 4. i can continue with CTRL+D to continue boot-process btw my /etc/fstab looks like this ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=fff30e51-1eca-4468-94b2-6e198a956d27 / ext2 noatime,defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sdb1 UUID=19ad637b-8645-4dc5-82bf-3b3d2819cd51 /FLASH ext2 noatime,defaults 0 2 # /dev/sdb2 SWAP for suspend mode UUID=7057686e-3553-4ff0-8d43-c280b6d28ed9 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders Post to : ubuntu-eee-coders@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
