Slow Boot Time on Fedora 42 KDE After Enabling Secure Boot - USB Device Descriptor Error

I’m new to Linux and recently did a clean install of Fedora KDE (running kernel 6.15.8.200.fc42.x86_64, also tested 6.14.0-63 with the same issue). After enabling Secure Boot to boot into Windows, I noticed a significant boot delay when returning to Fedora. During boot, I see three dots on the screen, and pressing ESC reveals a 45-second countdown with the following error:

USB 1-11: device descriptor read/64, error -110
[  ***  ] Job systemd-udevd.service/stop running (34s / 45s): Shutting down

Once KDE loads, it takes a few seconds for my mouse and keyboard to become responsive. Additionally, I occasionally see this error (not sure if it’s related or if it was present before):

amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] *error* EDID checksum invalid

System Details:

  • Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X870-A Gaming
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XTX
  • Monitor: Samsung G9 utrawide

What I’ve tried so far:

  • Switching between kernel versions (running 6.15.8 , tried 6.14.0-63).
  • Turn off Aura in Bios (although still showing in lsusb command)
  • Tried turn off secure boot
  • update and upgrade Fedora
  • unplug all usb devices (and change keyboard and usb port)

Could this be related to Secure Boot, a USB device issue, or something else? Any suggestions to diagnose or fix the slow boot and USB error? I’d also appreciate tips on addressing the amdgpu EDID error if it’s relevant.

USB error -110 is “Timeout expired before the transfer completed”, typically with a device that requires more power than the bus provides. Is this system a new build?
Most motherboards have internal USB headers. What is connected to those headers (e.g., internal lighting or other USB powered “enhancements”)?

Thank you, I guess this is more of a hardware question than linux question then. As a matter of fact I realized that a device descriptor error is happening in Windows 11 as well. This is a fairly new build, I have a CORSAIR iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX connected to one of the internal USB headers, and the front pannel (nothing connected on the ports though). I got nothing else plugged in, and each header/port works normally, it is not as if I could identify that one header is not operational or something.

I thought about disabling the related USB in Bios, since it is not in use, but I could not find the right one yet, I need some time if I want to do that.

Do you think this could be a Asus firmware/bios bug?

thank you again.

hello, this is to inform that the problem was a bios / motherboard issue, after bios reset, the problem disappeared:
