Installation fails

[Jens Weiner <whazzup@jensweiner.com>]

Hello

I´m sorry for my bad english, just wanted to tell you at the beginning...

I tried installing Debian 3.1r0a on my Acer Extensa 3000. The Bios is 
programmed very bad, even under windows, i cannot throttle the spu right 
etc... Suse and also redhat worked well on this notebook, but i had to 
throttle the cpu because it ran on 1600 Mhz (it is a 1400)...

But now on debian, after the basic-system is installed and the reboot is 
done, the system hangs when initializing usb. i think its because the 
bad bios, but how can i tell the kernel at boottime that it does not use 
usb? there is no option in the phoenix-bios, and also no newer version 
available...

Thanks
