I have an USB optical mouse, SmartMedia adapter and external CDROM, all configured and working fine under SuSE 8.2 - but if I try and boot with any of them connected, the PC hangs on the hotplug USB detection line. If I boot without any connected, then connect them manually, there's no problem - not very practical with the mouse(!). Everything works fine on my Laptop (also SuSE 8.2). The desktop is a AMD 2000+ with 512Mb, NVidea 400 64Mb...
Yes, it was power management - but not in the O/S. I tried both yes and no for acpi in the grub config, to no avail, so I disabled all power management in the BIOS - bingo!
Thanks Caeda, for putting me on the right track...
