Probe for hardware stuck

[drillsar]

I have Gentoo and installed it; I have kernel 5.6.14 if that makes a difference. It just says Probe for hardware ... and does nothing after that.

Hi,

Could you please run it with additional -list option to list all executed commands?

This will let us to know which command hanged.

Thanks.

[drillsar]

Executing: hwinfo --monitor --bluetooth --bridge --camera --cdrom --chipcard --cpu --disk --dvb --fingerprint --floppy --gfxcard --hub --ide --isapnp --isdn --joystick --keyboard --mouse --netcard --network --pci --pcmcia --scanner --scsi --smp --sound --tape --tv --usb --usb-ctrl --wlan 2>/dev/null `

[bsdhw]

Could you please run this command separately? Is it hangs?

If so, could you please try to identify hanged option by bisecting the list of options?

Probably one of the following options hangs:

dvb
floppy
isapnp
isdn
joystick
netcard
smp
tape

Thanks a lot for your help.

How do you run separate? Can you please explain?

[bsdhw]

Just run this command in terminal:

hwinfo --monitor --bluetooth --bridge --camera --cdrom --chipcard --cpu --disk --dvb --fingerprint --floppy --gfxcard --hub --ide --isapnp --isdn --joystick --keyboard --mouse --netcard --network --pci --pcmcia --scanner --scsi --smp --sound --tape --tv --usb --usb-ctrl --wlan

[drillsar]

I did that and get a list of my hardware; so how do I know what is causing the issue?

[bsdhw]

Could you please repeat it with sudo?

Thanks.

@drillsar

Could you please try:

sudo -E hwinfo --monitor --bluetooth --bridge --camera --cdrom --chipcard --cpu --disk --dvb --fingerprint --floppy --gfxcard --hub --ide --isapnp --isdn --joystick --keyboard --mouse --netcard --network --pci --pcmcia --scanner --scsi --smp --sound --tape --tv --usb --usb-ctrl --wlan

Thanks.

Please provide information.

Hi, I have the same problem. I'm getting stuck on the --cd rom. If you remove it, then everything is fine
