Installing Xubuntu 15.04 to boot in UEFI non-secure mode has some
challenges of it's own. But once I got the system working, it doesn't
freeze anymore.
If you want to use legacy BIOS mode, you'll have to compile a kernel.
However, it is not necessary to apply the patch above. Just disable the

The cause of the freeze seems to be a BIOS problem, as Alan suggested on
the linux-usb mailing list. When booting in UEFI mode (from a Xubuntu
15.04 installation medium), three of the devices listed by lspci are
missing, compared to legacy BIOS mode. One of those is the device that
caused the freez

I removed the bios-outdated tag. The guy who wrote about his BIOS update
in comment #9 has a completely different problem and commented off-
topic.

Current state of things: I've tracked down the code line where the
freeze happens. It's in function ehci_halt within file ehci-hcd.c. The
function is executed on shutdown as well as when the usb devices on the
bus are about to be probed again. The latter is triggered by "lsusb -v"
as root. Apparent
For the records, here's a screenshot (photo) of the system after a freeze.
Series of actions to get there:
1. enable kernel debug output
2. detach external mouse, to verify that messages appear
3. hit enter to get a new prompt line
4. trigger the freeze with "lsusb -v"

Sorry, the link in comment #14 is nonsense, a paste error.
The new way to trigger a freeze is:

The previous log for the "bad" kernel was incomplete, due to kernel
buffer overflows caused by systemd output. I've switched that off as
explained here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76935#c1

As suggested by Alan Stone on the linux-usb mailing list, I've verified
that the "USB cable is bad" messages are caused by the order in which
the USB devices are initialized.
I've also found a new way of triggering the freeze on a bad kernel:

Valentine, your problem is almost certainly not related to the one I reported
here.
You should seek advice in forums or on mailing lists for your computer and/or
distribution.

As suggested on the linux.usb mailing list, I've added some additional debug
print statements to the first bad kernel. They are not triggered by "lsusb -v"
though. I'm attaching kernel debug output from the boot sequence of two kernels:
- the bad one, with additional print statements
- the last g
I've verified that the freeze on shutdown is caused by the same commit.
Contrary to my initial report here, the freeze on shutdown happens late in the
sequence, not early.
I'm used to much longer shutdown times from my desktop :-)

As requested on the linux-usb mailing list, I've bisected the problem in

Thanks for your advice!
I've posted a bug report upstream:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/129790
I also checked out some older kernels.
The problem is present since 3.18, while 3.17.x was OK.
Or rather, had other, less dramatic problems on the machine.
