hello:
A little more detail on the problem with freezing in 5.7 stable install
With verbose reporting turned on during the booting process, I see the
following:
probing for pchb*
pchb returned 0
probing for geodesc*
geodesc probe returned 0
probing for pcib
pcib probe returned 0
probing for hme*
hme probe returned 0
probing for pcic*
pcic probe returned 0
xhci probe won
xhci0 at pci0 dev 20 function 0 "Intel 8 Series xHCI" rev 0x04: msi
probing for usb*
usb probe returned 1
usb probe won
usb0 at xhci0: USB revision 3.0
probing for uhub*
uhub probe returned 10
uhub probe won
uhub0 at usb0 ""Intel xHCI root hub" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 1
At that point the system hangs.
A usb mouse and keyboard were plugged into the usb 2.0 ports on the
computer. Same report if they are plugged into the usb 3.0 ports.
If I configure the kernel to disable xhci during boot, it boots normally
and successfully using ehci. Hope this is useful.
