Default Just curious...

Had a bit of a worry today - I installed and configured an HP USB inkjet printer (7260) and then was fooling around with a game, when the system hung. On reboot, it would mount all partitions, then stop at:

Setting up loopback interface lo
lo IPaddress: 127.0.0.1/8
IPaddress: 127.0.0.2/8
Done.


...and just sit there. I tried failsafe mode but got the same results. After fretting for a while, and on a whim, I unplugged the USB cable to the printer and the system booted normally. I had a HP 7450 USB printer that just died and never had this problem. I guess openSuSE is getting confused about what's on the other end of the USB interface?
