I have just started to have this problem, at least i think it is this problem but mine hangs on the splash screen. It happens everytime i shut down. If i hit F1 early in the shutdown process i get a recurring message like this hub 1-0:1.0: connect-rebounce failed, port 6 disabled hub 1-0:1.0: connect-rebounce failed, port 5 disabled
