 I got a USB2.0/1394 combo card for my birthday, but it's been
giving me major problems. I haven't gotten the USB side to work
in Windows XP, and it gives SUSE 9.0 Pro fits; it won't finish
booting, and hangs on "Starting hardware scan on boot...". If
I hit ctrl-C it moves on to a standard graphical login, but
locks up solid shortly thereafter, not even the Magic Sysrq key
can get it out.

 I managed to disable the hardware scan, but the system still
locks up shortly (~3 minutes) after boot.

 Booting Knoppix 3.4 EN works, but the USB stuff is unreliable
at best, and even when I'm not using USB it sometimes hangs.
Programs start to stall, and I get "I/O errors" posted to the
console, then a total lock. The logs don't appear to be
accessible when this starts.

 Does anyone know of issues with these chipsets? This card
replaced a TI-based 1394 card that didn't give me any problems.
What information would be useful in debugging this problem?
