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.
