Debian with 2.6.8 kernel won't boot with IOGear USB KVM attached
I'm running Debian "sarge" rc3 distro with a 2.4.27 kernel, which works great.
When I try to install or use the 2.6.8 kernel with my USB KVM, Debian halts on startup. If I plug the devices directly into the system, I have no problems. KVM? Yeah. Kernel 2.6.8? Yeah. I compiled a custom 2.6.8 kernel to see if I could get around the issue (I am admittedly a Linux novice), but had no success.

I dont know about KVM but USB seems horribly buggy since 2.6.8. I often have to do dirty shutdown because some weird USB bug is preventing init to shutdown properly, so instead of shutdown, my box stay mindlessy up waiting for some infinite loop to stop and filling my logs with crap.
I don't know if your problem is anyways related but my guess would be to try a kernel older than 2.6.8, like 2.6.7 or before. |
