Package: grub Version: 0.97-20 Severity: important I noticed recently that grub started responding to a USB keyboard at boot time. This is great! But there's a problem: I just attached an external USB hard drive (Westeran Digital 500GB 'MyBook'), and with this drive attached and turned on, grub displays the boot menu and freezes. Does not count down, does not boot, does not respond to keystrokes.
The workaround is to boot the machine, turn off the hard drive, hit the reset button. Then once the boot sequence is started, the hard drive can be turned on again. I've attached output from 'lsusb -v' so you can see what's known about the devices. The offending hard drive is the first device listed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages grub depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
