This could be relevant to this kernel bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6208
I am currently working with Zhang Rui there to fix it for the A6km laptop. Basically, when Linux identifies itself as "Windows NT", the BIOS does some special stuff regarding USB devices, causing the Linux boot to hang if USB devices are attached (all USB devices for me though, not just memory sticks). As you have an ASUS motherboard as well, these bugs could be related. -- Hang on coldboot when USB-stick attached https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/65071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
