boot problem with USB connected (kernel 2.6.12.5)

hi all!

I just got a 2.6.12.5 kernel on slackware 10.1 in my hp pavilion zv5200, using xushi's guide. It was so easy!!

Everything seems to work just fine, except for one weird PCI error that I get when booting with an USB device plugged in (I have a flash memory, an usb keyboard and an usb mouse). If something USB is connected, system can't boot and I only get a PCI-probing message and it stucks... no kernel panic, no nothing.

it isn't like a big trouble, but I don't like the *need* to unplug everything.

One more thing... what's better? modules or built-in? I know kernel shall look for the modules it needs whenever it needs them... so what's the difference? how works better?

is your usb support a module?

yep, I'm using OHCI and EHCI for 2.0

all my usb devices work perfectly but only if I connected them once the computer has booted

I don't have this problem with Slackware's default kernel.

Maybe I'm missing something in the config...

it's because they are modules.
