I have the same problem. I have the Asus Maximus VII Hero (Z97) and the same errors occur. On my PC I have elementary OS 0.3.2 (based on Ubuntu 14.04) installed. While booting with 'normal' bios setting and a USB3.0 HDD my keyboard and mouse (and basically all USB devices) stop working. When disabling the Intel xHCI Mode in the bios there is absolutely no problem. A friend of mine has an Asus Z97-A and he runs Arch and has exactly the same problem.
Update: I flashed my bios to the newest firmware (3003) and with xHCI enabled in the bios my USB3.0 HDD still doesn't work, but all my other devices don't have any problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1437492 Title: boot stalls on USB detection errors Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Debian: New Bug description: My system boots slow.
