Kernels from 2.6.32-20 up to Friday's git do not recognize certain USB devices, and hence do not load. The problem was brought to attention in the Ubuntu bug tracker system, bug 561140. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/561140 However, I compiled and installed the kernel from git on Friday, 2.6.34, and the problem is with the kernel.

Said to be a post-2.6.32 regression.

What makes you think that the kernel doesn't recognize certain USB devices? Which devices doesn't it recognize? Does unplugging those devices make any difference? Failure to recognize a USB device will not cause the kernel to fail to load. Most likely the problem has a different cause. You can test this by booting with "nousb" on the kernel command line; that will prevent the USB stack from running at all. > > The problem was brought to attention in the Ubuntu bug tracker system, bug > > 561140. > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/561140 > > However, I compiled and installed the kernel from git on Friday, 2.6.34, > and > > the problem is with the kernel. Does that kernel contain the fix listed in the Ubuntu bug report? Have you tried booting with "acpi=off" on the command line, as recommended in the bug report? You need to provide much more information; otherwise nobody will have a clue as to where to look for the problem. For example, apart from all the questions above, what shows up on the screen when the computer hangs? Alan Stern

Andrew: The ubuntu bug report now says that the issue has been resolved and it's really another duplicate of Bugzilla #15749. Do you want to mark this entry as a duplicate and close it out?
