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.
