It's a Dell PowerEdge 4300. A dual P3 server which uses Intel's 440GX chipset with a PERC3 Raid adaptor.
>Description:
When the kernel probes for USB, it gives a message, move the IRQ and hangs. (sorry I don't have the message, but I can get it) It boots fine with a kernel that doesn't have USB support. Note that the motherboard doesn't have any USB plug or device and the BIOS doesn't have anything about USB. I guess that it is in the southbridge but not supported by the motherboard. I tried Knoppix and OpenBSD, they detect the USB and boot fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot a GENERIC kernel on a Dell PowerEdge 4300.
>Fix:
Wish I knew.
