Description of problem: Custom kernel boot fine until after loading HARDWARE detect then USB dies, mouse, keyboard unresponive Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.5-1.315.i686 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel 2. 3. Actual results: unresponsive keyboard and mouse Expected results: Boot normally Additional info:
This might be caused by something entirely different. Somewhere around kernel release 290 something changed in the kernel which causes /etc/rc.sysinit to believe that the USB driver is already loaded (although it is not). I do not have the exact release at hand, but this is (from my point of view) not an initscript bug, because earlier kernels worked fine with the same /etc/rc.sysinit. Adding the line "/sbin/modprobe usb-controller" to /etc/rc.local "fixes" the problem, and the driver works just as expected afterwards. However, hhis does not help with USB keyboards during the boot process.
Same issue with kernel 2.6.5-1.322, haven't given .326 a try. Ralf's idea with /sbin/modprobe usb-controller still doesn't affect a resolution (temp) for restoring USB keyboards.
I have the same issue with my Dell Precision WS340. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82850 850 (Tehama) Chipset Host Bridge (MCH) (rev 04) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) I have these additions to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, however I believe only hid needs to be there for usb to become active again just prior to login, for any runlevel. Occassionally I must unplug/replug the usb keyboard before it is powered. The problem did start right near -1.290, this is the same for Rawhide and my customs (mainstream and Rawhide src.rpm rebuilds). Currently I cannot use the USB keyboard during the boot process. /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd /sbin/modprobe hid /sbin/modprobe usbcore initscripts-7.49-1
2.6.5-1.326 makes no change to present condition. Another annoyance though not of real import is that kudzu can't be accessed, so you might as well turn it off before doing anything else. I don't need usbcore in rc.local either :)
Also what is annoying, you can't check your file system, potentially fatal at some point :)
Fixed with new initscripts-7.50-1
