[bug #55288] Freezes at Countdown 10 when USB Keyboard Attached

[Frederik Schack]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #55288 (project grub):

I just downloaded XCP-NG and it freezes at the GNU GRUB.

I have a small server with only USB 3.0.

When I disconnect the keyboard, there's no problem booting and I can reconnect
the keyboard and it works.

> Bios has no issues. Once I pass by grub, Linux kernel has no issues and
Windows on different laptop has no issues with hub and keyboard.(hence why I
got it, i got 6 ports used up, more than laptop has, plus i change hub between
home pc and work PC, so i can reuse my nice
webcam/soundcard/mouse/keyboard/etc)
