| Every once in a while my system will not get past the first boot screen.
| It's rare enough that I usually forget the "solution" between events.
| The solution is to unplug USB devices and reboot the system.
| I can then plug the devices back in and things usually go back to normal for
| another long period.
| I have not added or removed any devices in a long time.
|
| I have USB 1 and 2 on the machine, two from a card added a couple years ago.
