Another 2.6.25.4 kernel question

All,

After figuring out my last issue with kernel compilation, I have another question.

I just finished compiling the 2.6.25.4 kernel from source. I imported the current config of my Arch Linux stock kernel and used default settings on all the new options it gave me when doing a "make oldconfig"/"make menuconfig." Once in the menuconfig, all I changed was the kernel name, processor from Pentium Pro to core2/Xeon/newer and highmem from 4gb to 64gb.

The kernel compiled with no discernable errors and I booted up with it. However, it gets stuck about halfway through the process with:

/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: v2.6: USB HID core driver

and the system just sits there till I manually reboot it.

Apparently it didn't make it far enough to log the kernel messages, so I have no way of giving you all the lines before it, but basically it's just checking all the USB interfaces and bringing up devices that are connected (keyboard and mouse). See sig for system specs.

Anyone have any ideas or opinions of what might be happening?

Thanks,
Gnunixguy
