Comment 8 for bug 366231

Mamamel reporting again,

Following advice, disconnected every USB device...with exception of keyboard & mouse

Installation now works; I made sure to run updates and fully update / patch the OS

Then I started connecting USB devices one by one, connect...reboot....see if OS would boot OK

Logitech Webcam OK (tested w/ Cheese), external USB Seagate Hard Drive OK, even the Canon Scanner (CanoScan Lide 90)

and the culprit was......my APC Back-UPS LS700; which also has a USB connection into PC (dual Booting with Vista 64 bit, for use with shutdown software). That was last device connected; as soon as I restarted PC....boot froze up at exactly same place (although error message throws you off balance "Bluetooth" entry) and never booted OK again

Once I disconnected the UPS USB cable, bingo.....everything worked OK
