Hi, "HID generic" might be the culprit. And this seems related http://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=63 Also this but not much follow up and was never filed as a bug https://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2012/10/msg00016.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2012/11/msg00000.html Daily Netboot image from CD(RW) shows same effect: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/mini.iso (28-Nov-2013 00:09) Unfortunately there's no lsusb in busybox ash. Attached the boot logs and some more. I also plugged out SATA drives to minimize noise. Here's some short output: # lsmod | grep -Ei "usb|hci|hid" ehci_hcd 44263 1 ehci_pci ehci_pci 12472 0 hid 93907 2 hid_generic,usbhid hid_generic 12393 0 scsi_mod 178166 2 usb_storage,sd_mod usb_common 12440 1 usbcore usb_storage 52036 1 usbcore 154038 5 usb_storage,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,xhci_hcd usbhid 44656 0 xhci_hcd 89949 0 # lspci -knn | grep -Ei "usb|hci" 00:02.0 USB controller [0c03]: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 USB 1.1 Controller [10de:03f1] (rev a3) 00:02.1 USB controller [0c03]: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 USB 2.0 Controller [10de:03f2] (rev a3) Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci 03:00.0 USB controller [0c03]: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller [1033:0194] (rev 03) Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd Only the last controller is working in Jessie. And Wheezy has additionally ohci_hcd but is without ehci_pci and hid_generic. $ lspci -knn | grep -Ei "usb|hci" 00:02.0 USB controller [0c03]: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 USB 1.1 Controller [10de:03f1] (rev a3) Kernel driver in use: ohci_hcd 00:02.1 USB controller [0c03]: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 USB 2.0 Controller [10de:03f2] (rev a3) Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd 03:00.0 USB controller [0c03]: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller [1033:0194] (rev 03) Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd I loaded ohci_hcd and even uhci_hcd, unloaded ehci_pci but to no avail. Unloading hid_generic deactivates the last working controller. The mouse or USB1 and USB2 hosts also seem to give up since the flickers disappear after a while. Seems my hardware isn't registered correctly. Is this an upstream problem? Will somebody report this to debian-testing and against the package installation-reports? Regards
