It looks like you've found a gem, especially given the external card and this post by Colin Watson (#54): One effect of these changes was to load the video_cirrus and video_bochs modules by default (you can test whether this is the culprit by commenting them out in grub.cfg). I've seen a handful of systems that hang while trying to enumerate the PCI bus in GRUB; it so happens that those are the only modules that usually trigger GRUB's PCI bus enumeration in normal circumstances ... You can also verify this at a lower level by trying 'lspci' at a GRUB prompt. If it's the same problem, this will hang. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
