Comment 165 for bug 57502

I concur - the problem my actually lie somewhere else. When I disable both USB keyboard and USB mouse support in the BIOS (which I can do without problems at the moment, as I use a PS/2 keyboard), my Foxconn board boots into the installed Ubuntu (efx daily x86 20061017.1), too, though the error messages remain.

Thus, it may be the case that this is not a JMicron, but rather a USB problem. Some part of the kernel must be responsible for the hangup with legacy support enabled. Plus, the kernel on the daily CD itself boots fine with legacy support enabled, so there must be some difference between the two.

Thanks godot for reminding me of the legacy support issue - i had tried that setting with an earlier version of edgy eft to no avail, and had already forgotten about it.
