Booting halted on the 4th icon when a Huawei Mobile USB stick is plugged

[Karvjorm]

I'm running VMware image hrev40352 and booting of Haiku will stop when I have a Huawei mobile internet USB stick plugged to my USB bus. But when I unplug that stick, booting continues and I'm able to plug it again after completed booting process.

In the enclosed syslog I have marked with "====" the moment I have unplugged and plugged again (I suppose) that USB stick. This Huawei stick includes 2 USB interfaces, I think. The first one is a usb disk and booting stop occurs obviously because Haiku can't handle it correctly. The second interface is a modem interface.

The following popup window is shown:

Haiku - VMware Player

Please upgrade your virtual machine to enable high-speed USB 2.0 support for the
device "Huawei Removable Disk". An attempt will be made to connect this device to
the best available host controller. This may result in an undefined behavior for 
this device.

[] Do not show this hint again                                 [OK]

This attempt is succeeded, because the usb disk is shown on the desktop as a "MOBIILIKAISTA" and can be opened (so that windows .exe files etc. are shown).

A syslog with marked unplug/plug point

Does the usb_modeswitch driver installed in your Haiku?

This kind of device comes with an virtual CD-ROM but for some reason Haiku may don't like what he find there at boot time. Maybe because the usb_modeswitch is not included in the boot tarfs image, so the device is fully inited like it should be.

Could you post the syslog of an halted boot so one could see where does it stops?

OK, now it looks like that this is a problem only when this Huawei Mobile USB stick is first time plugged to Haiku USB bus. Today I booted first without Huawei stick. Then I plugged stick in and rebooted twice without any problems. I will enclose syslog with some boots and two the latest ones without problems.

Syslog with Huawei mobile USB stick

[Karvjorm]

I upgraded to hrev40389 and have enclosed here another-syslog that includes first boot (with about 10 minutes halt in boot process, until I unplugged Huawei stick). When desktop was visible, I plugged Huawei stick again and Haiku mounted it immediately. When I checked the Tracker mount menu, it showed also that MOBIILIKAISTA was mounted but Blank_BFS and SenryuPE were not (then, but now they are mounted in the enclosed figure). Another syslog includes also first reboot I made after changing my locale settings.
