[olug] RH 9.0 and a Compaq EVO

[Blaufuss, Shane]

Try typing "linux noprobe" or "linux nousb" at the boot prompt when you boot
up from CD.  I haven't tried 9.0 yet, so I'm assuming that a) it still has
the boot: prompt at the beginning, and b) it's dying trying to detect your
hardware and has the same problems 8.0 had on my Evo notebook detecting
USB2.0 devices.
