On a dual-boot PC (windows, ubuntu) I added a FreeBSD 7.2-amd64 partition. No problem. Then I removed the SATA disk, and replaced it with a larger SATA disk. With GParted I removed everything on that newer disk, and started installing FreeBSD 7.2 amd64 from a DVD. The installation started, and a the FreeBSD Welcome screen I could press enter to skip the 10 seconds wait time. Then the normal messages rolled over the screen, but I noticed among them: usb1: host controller halted ubub1: IOERROR And saw that the red light of the optical mouse went out... And at the selecting screen to select a Country, I saw the keyboard was not responding. Both keyboard and mouse are USB, the system has no other kind of ports for keyboard or mouse. I tried with other USB ports (there are 4 at the back, 2 at the front) - no help. I reinstalled the original Windows/Ubuntu/FreeBSD disk. Booted in Windows, everyhting OK, booted in Ubuntu everything OK, booted in FreeBSD: now same phenomenon: I can still press Enter at eh FreeBSD Welcome screen but the same messages usb1: host controller halted ubub1: IOERROR appear and I can't use keyboard and mouse anymore. It has worked before... What can be the reason and how to solve this utterly mysterious behaviour ...
