+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #129175 +++

LiveCD consistently hangs on boot time when it loads the modules. It says:

"Loading modules:
Scanning for ehci-hcd... usbcore"

Then it freezes and I've to power-off my system (ctrl+alt+delete doesn't work).

I have a MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R mainboard with BIOS v2.4 (latest), Prescott 3.0GHz/1M/800FSB cpu, 1GB of dual channel DDR400, AGP GeForce MX 400, and USB keyboard, mouse, floppy, and cdrom; the 3 onboard PATA channels connect to a six-disc array.

It appears to be due to the usbcore module in newer kernels.  The 2006.0 x86 minimal and livecd and a genkernel build of gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 all exhibit this hang, while the 2005.1 cd does not.  The 'nousb' boot option delays the hang until usb coldplugging runs but also makes booting the livecd from a usb cdrom drive impossible.  I'm going to try an older gentoo-sources on this machine and the 2006.0 cd on a different 875P mobo as well to see what happens.

Why did you make a new bug rather than posting this information to the other one?  I don't need two bugs with the same issue.  Marking this one as a DUPLICATE.  Please feel free to comment on the other bug.
