I don't know how to fix this ..
If I leave anything USB in while I reboot ie. external hdd and dvd burner they all get really slow maybe down to usb 1.
Second if I leave my printer,external and usb dvd burner in when I reboot my usb keyboard and mouse lock up and I have to do a hard reboot. It really burns to have to unplug everything but the keyboard and mouse. Anyone else have this problem ?

When booting up ? It's seems even if I unplug a usb HDD as it's restarting it'll still kill me mouse... It's bizarre. Like I just rebooted and left all my usb HDD's connected and my mouse was fine upong reboot but all my drives are super slow, like I said before it's like it down to usb 1.1 . It's either it freezes or the usb devices are slow. But if they are all unplugged except for the keyboard and mouse it's no problems... mest up
Okay I kind of narrowed it down. In profiler I have USB Bus > which is printer , keyboard and mouse that transfers at 12 mb/s also there is USB High-Speed Bus > External HDD and thumbdrive that transfer at up to 480 mb/s.
When I reboot and leave them plugged in the External HDD and Thumbdrive revert the USB bus which only transfers at 12 mb/s.
Why does it do that at startup ? Is there any way to fix that ?
Damn eh, I think there's a few people that have this issue. Thanks for the tips , at least for now I'll just turn off my external and usb burner when I reboot , no biggy I guess.
Well in the system.kext in the info.plist it show 9.5.0 which is correct as I have voodoo 9.5.0 but in the version.plist is shows 9.4.0 , would this affect it ? Also I have nforce4 mobo mcp61
here's the info.plist

yes I have this problem too on msi motherboard, even I am using external PCI usb card. have you try plug and unplug the usb keyboard?
Check your system logs [with the console application] and see if you have many usb timeouts, or some messages about the BIOS on unable to gain control.
Hmm, for that you would need to buy another hub, then plug your keyboard/mouse into it.
its connecting at the lowest common denominator.
does your system kext match your kernel and is it sb600 chipset
I am using kernel voodoo 9.6.0 and system.kext 9.6.0 and still have usb keyboard/mouse problems in a vanilla install. but I am using mcp51
Mcp51 USB
The developers really need to repast the codes for mcp51 motherboard.
There too have a issue in ethernet cards.
I will wait for some news.
