** Description changed: - I use dapper 6.06. After installing the latest updates on 5.aug.06, - problems arose with booting and USB. Having a device (keyboard, mouse - etc) connected to any of the USB ports, the system boot halts at - "mounting root file system". Also, when connecting a USB device during - the booting process or when ubuntu is already running, everything stops - to respond. - - Regards, - Tarvo + Did a little research in forums and found that the conflict between + newer Kernel and USB has been reported also by others. What helps is to + disable legacy usb in BIOS - then 2.6.15.23, -24, -25 boot fine and + won't freeze afterwards either. However, then you can't choose between + OSs before booting. So, anyway, you need a ps/2 keyboard with the new + Kernel. Everything worked fine with Kernel 2.4.x installed (and legacy + usb disabled), both XP and DapperDrake 6.06 recognized usb keyboard + during the boot as well as when running, and the OSs could be chosen + beforehand. I cannot but dub Thee BUG! :)
