User Feedback :: Fujitsu Siemens Laptop USB Trouble
Whenever a USB device, including a flash drive or a mouse, is inserted DSL will stop working. If i try to boot it up while one is in it will get to the point of checking USB and stop. If I plug one in while it is running it will freeze and the cursor will not move even with the touch pad. I do not have this problem with the desktop computer which I tried it in.
This is my first experience of using Linux and i would appreciate it if someone could advise me on how to resolve this problem.
Somewhere on this forum is a already discussion about setting a delay on usb setup that may be the answer to your problem.
