Hi
I didn't find any postings here about that. When I try to boot with
Mandrake 10 Community and have my USB (joystick etc. ) plugged in it
freezs already at boot with grub. What turnaround can I use for this?
I'm too lazy to plug in and out whenever I want the USB to use.
Thanks Michael

You could hire someone to plug it in and out for you. You can probably get a
homeless person real cheap. :)

does it freeze before, during or after grub?

-maybe in your bios 'booting from usb' is enabled. If you dont need to
boot from usb (like most people) then just turn off that.

-if you use a usb keyboard and/or mouse there is an option in the bios
too, check that. (well if you have a real bios and not something bioslike
form dell/compaq/hp). read your bios manual.

-if the bios settings dont help bios update is a point. update the bios
only if you know what you are doing and you know that this problem is
solved in the never bios (-> check changelogs/readme/bugs solved of the
new bios revision).
