Hello all,

I've recently downloaded Slackware 9.0. During the installation procedure, I can make it to the point where I am asked to select a kernel. I select "bare.i" and boot with that. While the kernel is booting, it goes through a series of messages about the USB interfaces. It is during this series that my keyboard/mouse (both USB) are disabled. The installation continues, but I cannot type any input due to the disabled mouse/keyboard. One of the USB messages mentions something to the effect that a USB hub didn't return an "OK" for a status message. If anyone has experienced this problem before or has a suggestion, please let me know.

Try booting with the usb.i kernel

Slackware 9.0 doesn't come with a usb.i kernel.
