Description of problem: Brand new system (see also 30087). On boot, besides no video, I was getting error messages about 1 per second complaining of USB2-port1 possible bad cable. Ran Dell diagnostics; all fine. Swapped wired mouse and keyboard connections and error message no longer appears. Filing this because it should not matter which device is connected to port1; and to inform others of the workaround. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. make wired keyboard/mouse connections to new machine. 2. boot up (no video due to bug 30087) 3. switch to other vtys; messages about once per second (no login required)
Sorry for your bad start. As this might related be related to a a real damaged cable this is nothing what Mageia can fix. USB-Ports on a machine are controlled by different hubs/controllers with different abilitys/functionalitys. So error messages on one port could occur even if they don't show up at another one.
Resolution: (none) => WORKSFORMEStatus: NEW => RESOLVED
Everything is brand new out of the boxes. Will see if Cauldron from a good mirror solves this...
Yeah, just because everything is "new" cables and/or hw can be bad. also the connector could be dirty, or the hw in your system is from a "buggy revision" that might need new bios/firmware or some errata fix in the kernel... Theese things happends all the time, and sometimes as you noticed a fix can be as simple as switching port...
