PI Zero W hangs when booting with USB keyboard

Patchbox OS
11

I found this on a page about using the Zero wit hthe preempt-RT kernel[1]

For the Zero, you also need the options:

    ~$ sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
    # Add the following options:
    dwc_otg.fiq_enable=0 dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_enable=0 dwc_otg.nak_holdoff=0

if you are using the USB port, otherwise the Raspberry Zero freezes immediately as soon as you connect something to the port (USB drive, Wi-Fi dongle etc.)

I have not had the chance to test it yet.
