From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Starting with kernel kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3 there is a problem with udev and USB on startup. with kernel kernel-2.6.9-1.667 everything is fine. if a USB-Memory stick is plugged-in during startup, udev sais: disabling IRQ 9 and my mouse and/or keyboard is dead. without memory-stick plugged-in mouse and keyboard is okay. this problem does not occur with kernel-2.6.9-1.667 so i guess its a kernel compile issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3, kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. plug in usb-stick and boot with kernel kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3 or kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3. Actual Results: when udev initalizes the hardware it will output "Disabling IRQ 9" and the mouse will not work. Expected Results: mouse working and usb stick-mounted when boot is complete Additional info: the usb-stick is a 256MB Stick from www.data-bar.com and works with windows and linux (with the above mentioned 667-kernel). its formated with FAT32. my mouse is Logitech Optical Mouse with Mousewheel (i dont know the name, i hope this a serial, which identifies the type: M-BJ69) The Computer is a Fujitsu-Siemens Notebook with a "mobile AMD Athlon (tm) 1800+" (from cat /proc/cpuinfo).
I have a simular problem with FC3 2.6.9-1.681_FC3. With no usb devices plugged in, system boots and function as expected. plug in any usb device, memory stick, scanner whatever ... and I loose both the keyboard and mouse.
