Switch KVM with USB freeze Live and Installed Kernel on Booting. I used this switch under Windows XP and never getted a problem, all starting is goes fine. This switch permit me to share a VGA Monitor and a USB Hub to 2 Computers. The problem is when I've installed Gentoo on one of two computers. During boot (the live too) freeze after some seconds. Only way to fix this problem is use noapic and acpi=off like options in the Grub OR unplugging the USB under linux pc during the Boot. I think this is a BUG of linux becouse other PC with Win 7 x64 work fine and the same pc with linux when i used Windows XP never getted a problem. I linked a screenshot when system freeze. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attach USB of KVM 2. Enable ACPI in kernel Actual Results: Freeze
1) Please paste your `emerge --info' output in a comment. 2) Attach the kernel .config as a file. 3) Tell us about the make and model KVM switch, and what is connected to the KVM switch on the console side. X) Lacking that, at the least tell us which Gentoo boot image you used.
5) Attach any relevant information to the bug report and don't rely on external resources for that purpose.

About the KVM this is a Aten CS52A KVM Switch with USB + PS2 + VGA Connected at the USB is a Trust Slimline USB 2.0 Hub Need more ?
Can you please test with 2.6.37-gentoo-sources please.
Exactly same problem with 2.6.37 gentoo-source :(
(In reply to comment #9) > Exactly same problem with 2.6.37 gentoo-source :( > Trying and retrying some time the system start and other time freeze at different moments (see news shot). When start (dmesg attacched)
Created attachment 261447 [details] DMESG with some ACPI errors ignore ext3 error (is for before acpi freeze)
Created attachment 261448 [details] freeze one of more
Created attachment 261450 [details] one more freeze
Test with 2.6.38, and then please take this upstream to bugzilla.kernel.org if it fails.
