*** Bug 120833 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This was mentioned on the internal kernel list and I suggested putting modules into initrd. But this may be too hard for FC2. Arjan/DaveJ have to bunch together and decide what to do. Don't forget about systems with OHCI. If UHCI goes in, so should OHCI. EHCI always has OHCI compatibility mode, so perhaps it can be left out. Um, This machine is an x86_64, not a Mac (ppc). Do the Mac's also need this compiled in, or did we get the wrong blocker bug number? Given how few modern machines lack OHCI/UHCI maybe it should be compiled in on all of them ? Yes, the blocker bug number is wrong. This is an x86_64 machine. I tried putting these modules into the initrd manually, the kernel still complains very loudly before the initrd is loaded, but it does eventually work. It's much neater logging wise to have them already compiled in however. The blocker bug is wrong, Macs use OHCI USB controllers. http://www.rmecc.com/~v2/em/ is a wonderful resource -- it solves this problem nicely. The bottom line is that the BIOS is quite borked as shipped by eMachines. Updating the BIOS permits FC3T1 (current as I write this) to install on the eMachines M6805 without any kernel command line options. The install is in progress as I type, so I'll update this with any other info once it's done & I get a chance to see what hath been wrought. I know about that site, see mine (which points to that one): http://www.ckloiber.com I should add that the bios upgrade from that page is UNOFFICIAL, and not supported by eMachines. If you choose to do that upgrade you are almost certainly voiding any warranties you may otherwise have recourse under. any better with teh current updates ? Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. |
