I have an AMD 64 using a K8V-SE Deluxe mb. When I try to install or boot up the system with two CommTech card installed, the system loops in the HotPlug startup function. If I uninstall the two cards, the system will boot OK. How can I tell Ubuntu to ignore the two cards? There ID's are 110a:2102 and 10e8:8291. Is there a blacklist I can add these two cards to?
I had to figure out which of the two cards was causing the problem. I modified /etc/default/rcS to have VERBOSE=yes. I also removed the quiet from the grub boot line. This allowed me to display the failing module name. It was dscc4. I added dscc4 to the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file and the system will now boot. It seems hotplug thinks the Commtech synchronous 4 port card is a network card. Blacklisting makes everything all better.
