On Linux ACPI/USB seems to be evolving fast and seems to have gliches.
If I have mu mouse on USB, my boot fails :-(  Second booting, I
remember, fixed it.

I deal this by plugging mouse later.  I have hotplug package installed.

Try booting without drive and plug in later.

IMHO, USB/ACPI/Firewire are still flaky even on 2.4.  I ever bothered to
patch with latest patches.  It seems there are enough fixes going on...

New hardwares are always bitch on Linux.
