USB causing crash during boot

[db5007]

When ever I plug in any USB device, Ubuntu crashes during boot. If I unplug them, it boots up fine. After that I can just plug in the devices and everything works fine.

Actually its ANY USB device. Windows and OSX load fine on the same hardware.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . This will originally be filed against the Gutsy kernel source package "linux-source-2.6.22".

Additionally, the Hardy Heron Alpha series was recently released. Alpha2 and subsequent releases contain an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks!
