Problem about Mandrake on HP DV1000 notebook

I installed Mandrake 10.1 on my dv1000(PM1.6G,768MB DDR,60G HD). Everything goes fine in the process of installation. But when I try to load Mandrake, the system booting stops at "Initializing USB Controller(ehci-hcd)". I tried booting as text mode and graphic mode but both stops at this point.

Screen shot

I installed this linux on my desktop and everything is OK.

Could anybody give me some hint on solving the problem?

Thanks!
 
At the bootloader, type extra parameter init=/bin/bash after the label (at least I think you can do that in GRUB too). At the prompt, type mount -a, then modprobe ehci-hcd. Record any error messages. Then type dmesg and come back with anything that mentions USB.

There's probably a more Mandrake-specific way to get to an emergency console, but I wouldn't know it. 😉
 
Thanks for your reply, but I am new to linux and have no idea how to type the params at bootloader. Can I do it when the system is not started yet?

Thanks!
 
I am using LILO.

I have found the problem, it is the USB optical mouse. When I removed it, the test passed!

But the booting stops at "Building Mozilla Registry", which I guess is not related to hardware. Right?

Thanks!
