Description Donald L. Walters 2005-03-31 03:24:43 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1

Description of problem:
USB devices flash, printer, wireless, are not found with
Fedora core 3 x84_64 with kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3.
Using an SN25P with Nforce 4 chipset

sda1 is not found in harware search for a flash drive

However, USB devices work fine when I boot with the original download kernel 2.6.9-1.667.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.10-1.770_FC3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and the USB flash LED never blinks and sda1 is not seen
2. Boot into 2.6.9-1.667 and the USB flash LED blinks and sda1 is seen and everything works
3.
  

Actual Results:  Using root:       mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
System responds:  mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist


Expected Results:  should not have to mount the device. It should be found as soon as plugging it in.  It is turned on in the Preference dialog and everything is ok with kernel 2.6.9-1.667

Additional info:

Using Nvidia NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1.0-0301-pkg1.run chipset drivers
Marvel 88E1111 ethernet chipset

Is there anything mentioned in dmesg? Does booting with pci=routeirq help?

Comment 2 Donald L. Walters 2005-03-31 22:30:22 UTC

dmseg  relevant in part:

ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APSJ] (IRQs 20 21 22 23) *0, disabled.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APCP] (IRQs 20 21 22 23) *0, disabled.
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
** PCI interrupts are no longer routed automatically.  If this
** causes a device to stop working, it is probably because the
** driver failed to call pci_enable_device().  As a temporary
** workaround, the "pci=routeirq" argument restores the old
** behavior. 

SCSI subsystem initialized

usbcore: registered new driver hiddev
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid

I can sent the whole dmseg if you like and give me an address

Comment 3 Claudio Tibaldi 2005-04-05 21:46:22 UTC

Same problem but kernel x86_32. Only usb in rear pannel work. The usb added
inside  internal connector on motherboard a8n-sli (nforce 4) do not recognize
anything.
All functions are properly working with first kernel included in original set.

Comment 4 Sitsofe Wheeler 2005-04-06 20:30:26 UTC

Comment #2 I'd rather not have a full dmesg but er, thanks for asking.

Did booting with pci=routeirq help?

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2005-06-04 07:15:48 UTC

two possibilities..

http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3/ hsa the next 2.6.11 based
test kernel

http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/test/ has a more experimental backport of
the FC4 kernel to FC3. (Though this has had little to no testing at all yet, so
be careful).

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2005-07-15 20:16:28 UTC

An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which
may contain a fix for your problem.   Please update to this new kernel, and
report whether or not it fixes your problem.

If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem
still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version
field of this bug to 'fc4'.

Thank you.
