Public bug reported:
Sometimes the kernel will hang too.
Steps to reproduce.
Either way works.
1. plug in i-rocks 8 in 1 card reader IR-8110 using normal USB cable, fire up
machine = "boot hangs at mounting root file system"
2. more annoying. (due to the difficulty of accessing the internals of
the machine with liquid cooling...) plug in internal (box mounted)
apacer card reader/front USB device to the ASUS motherboard. Just using
the the USB cable works fine, add the card reader cable and = "boot
hangs at mounting root file system".
Now even more annoying - it is intermittent. After several resets (like
8) it may boot.
Other symptoms...
You can watch the optical mouse light as it is mounting, if the light
flickers too long it hangs. About half a second is fine, if it is out
longer than that it wont come one and the machine is frozen.
Oh yes, it does not drop out to a shell. Left it for hours once, no
shell.
