I have recently finished configuring my RPi and decided I no longer needed the mouse and monitor plugged in. When I powered off, unplugged and booted back up the RPi wouldn;t work properly. I thought at first I had messed up some settings which only took effect on reboot, but there was nothing obvious.
Eventually after trying different things I discovered that the RPi is only happy if I have something plugged into the 2nd USB port (there is a wifi dongle in the first).
I thought I must be imagining it so tried repeatedly to get it to work without anything plugged in, but no joy. It runs perfectly with the mouse or even a USB flash drive in, but try running it with nothing and it just isn't interested.
Has anybody else seen this behaviour?
