The answer is yes.
I've been testing like mad, with 2.5.42 then 2.5.43, with original gcc
then new gcc in rawhide ; I dumped the ps/2 mouse and serial io I went
all-usb (keyboard and mouse on usb hub, smartmedia combo reader
directly on usb port) in the hope it would help produce clear-cut
results.
I also did a memtest86 run to see if perhaps 2.5 poke in some bad ram
location while 2.4 didn't. Clean run, it seems my dimms are ok.
I feel changing dbg() in err() is a bit worse than full
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y. It certainly did hang more often at boot than with
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y. However :
* with err() I get about 50% boot chance
* with err() I've never so far booted with a useless keyboard (sole
times I booted with unchanged kernel and CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=n keyboard
was dead)
* when it hangs with err() the takeover message is printed (never was
before on hang)
Sometimes after 2.5.43 is booted switching to the console freezes the
usb mouse. Don't know if it's related to the boot hang, but
chain-restarting gpm will more often result into an oops than a
recovered mouse. However I've just found that re-pluging it instead of
restarting gpm unfreezes the mouse cursor.
Anyway, here is full dmesg output on a 2.5.43 kernel with err and
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=n, after it did manage to boot, lost mouse, tried to
recover it via gpm then replugging it :
