Comments/Problems:
- The iMac has 3 USB ports. Debian Wheezy boots via an external USB HDD plugged into one of the ports. There is an Okion 4-port USB hub plugged into a second port. Two dongles for a USB wireless keyboard and mouse are connected
to this hub. When the USB hub or other USB devices (besides the external HDD) are connected during boot, the boot sequence stalls at "USB disconnect, device number 8" message. Last few lines of visible kernel messages:
[12.225823] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[12.228785] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)
[12.366069] usb 1-1.1.3: USB disconnect, device number 8
The display shows a blinking cursor. The system becomes unresponsive (cannot drop to shell, sometimes can force a soft restart.)
After several minutes, kernel repeatedly outputs the following until forced to restart:
udevd[537]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -b pci:v00001002d0000AA90sv0000106Bsd0000AA90c04sc03100' [567]
- When there are no other USB devices plugged into the ports, startup proceeds successfully (desktop environment starts up).
