[11:07] so, given that some of you likely aren't directly available but may read this later, I'll give all my details [11:07] I've got a thinkpad x21 plugged into a dock. Need the dock so I can use the CD drive. Problem is the dock 'creates' a usb problem. [11:10] Scenario #1: have a harddrive with edgy installed on it from another computer, place drive in my x21. Get error message 'Maybe usb cable is bad' but otherwise boots and runs [11:11] Scenario #2: put an Edgy livecd in and boot. Boots up, and runs the installation until it reaches the usb-storage module. Then hangs. On reboot, I no longer have a usable system. [11:12] Scenario #3: put a Feisty alternate cd in and boot, with no boot parameters. Get the 'maybe usb cable is bad' message again, hangs at 'starting log daemon' [11:13] Scenario #4: using the Feisty alternate cd, and boot parameter of debian-installer/probe/usb=false allows me to at least reach the text installer, but about four steps in it dies again at the usb-storage bit [11:15] so question: is there a way to blacklist the usb-storage module? Can I alt+f2, and perhaps alter modprobe.conf in some way such that usb-storage won't be installed during the normal installation process? [11:21] rabid_fish: on the alternate you can still : rm the usb-storage.ko file from /lib/modules/2.6.*/ [11:21] rabid_fish: then : depmod -a [11:22] rabid_fish: but I think there is a more proper way to do so :) [11:25] gimme a min to try that [11:26] it's in : /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko [11:26] here [11:28] so far, am getting farther! [11:33] it's finishing up partitioning then will be on installing packages, have my fingers crossed
