First of all, I'm completely new to this, been a Windows user for as long as I can remember and I've been thinking about dual booting Ubuntu with my Windows 10 for some time now.

I've run into one problem that I can't seem to fix, couldn't find a lot of similar problems on Google either.

I've tried creating a live USB on a 32gb memory device. I've tried etcher, rufus, even netbootin. The boot manager works fine, I boot into the screen where you can choose "Install Ubuntu or "Try Ubuntu Without Installing". I've tried pressing either one but I always get the same error, which is:

xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: Error while assigning device slot ID

xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: Max number of devices this xHCI host supports is 127

usb_usb1-port6: couldn't allocate usb_device

Can you guys help? I'm happy to provide all the information I can.

    This is some problem specific to your hardware. – Pilot6 Feb 28 '19 at 15:27

  • By hardware you mean USB or every potential part of the computer? –  Feb 28 '19 at 15:46
  • You didn't give ANY information about the hardware. It may be a problem with USB port, or that error may be irrelevant and the problem is with the video adapter. – Pilot6 Feb 28 '19 at 16:01
  • May be a problem with your 32G USB flash drive (or some other USB device... unplug them all). Try another flash drive. – heynnema Feb 28 '19 at 16:39
  • Nope, still no difference. I don't know what the problem is here... –  Mar 02 '19 at 13:59

(it came with a search result, let's leave this for future use)

The problem is solved in my case with added irqpoll in file grub.cfg as kernel parameter.

If you have a USB-2 port, try to install it from there. After the installation, edit the grub.cfg file to add the irqpoll to the kernel parameter.

Probably it's better to append the irqpoll option to /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT value.
