 |
|
I have the following USB devices: wireless mouse, scanner, Canon printer
and Samsung laser printer.
If I plug the Canon printer into one of the aux USB910 (not sure which one)
USB ports the machine will not boot past the Asus logo screen. If I remove
the printer away it goes and boots successfully. With Canon plugged into
any other USB port there are no problems.
Any of the other USB devices plugged into that problem port and there is no
problem.
Any suggestions as to what may be causing this?
Thanks |

I've experienced this same problem with a P5W DH Deluxe right up
through the Beta 2004 BIOS with a Palm TX plugged during boot. Others
have also reported it with other devices, usually mass storage
devices. It's not clear that there is an answer. I think the
standard suggestions include changing sockets and disabling Legacy USB
support in the BIOS. |

I have a similar issue with a Gateway PC at work. It has a USB card reader
plugged into one of the ports and if I boot it up with no card in any of
the reader's slots, the PC won't boot past the BIOS post screen. (or
maybe
it's if I boot it *with* a card in the slot. I forget.)
If there's a button on the printer you can press that will 'wake' the
printer up, then try doing that before booting. The BIOS is probably
trying to scan the USB ports to find out what's there (for example, the
BIOS of my P5B Deluxe will list out during bootup which USB ports have
memory sticks plugged into them, etc.) If the printer is turned off or
sleeping and thus not responding, then maybe that's causing the BIOS to
wait too long (or indefinitely) for a response. Just a theory; probably
wrong.

But it only fails with the printer plugged into one of the 8 that are
available. And the printer is on during boot. |
