Bug Description

My motherboard has two USB3 ports. If the USB3 ports *and* the builtin ethernet NIC are enabled, I cannot boot successfully... kernel apparently hangs when initializing the ethernet port. If I disable at least one, it can boot. Currently disabled USB3 so I have networking.

I tried booting into the Maverick live environment (from a USB drive) and this problem is not present under Maverick... boots fine even if both USB3 and ethernet are enabled.

This is repeatable every time.

I can boot Oneiric Alpha 3 installer on this motherboard, so issue appears to have been fixed. Natty installer I guess will always be broken.

This has been fixed in Oneiric, and continues to work thus far in Precise, so I'll close this.
