Description Robert Hancock 2005-01-20 04:58:41 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
On an Athlon 64 system using an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
(NVIDIA nForce4 chipset), I have an internal USB 2.0 flash reader
drive, and a Kingston USB 2.0 pen drive. Both of these used to work
fine as late as kernel 2.6.9-1.724. Using kernel 2.6.10-741 no USB 2.0
devices seem to be recognized at all. The ehci-hcd module is loaded
but there is no sign that any devices connected to it have been
detected in the dmesg and they do not show up in lsusb. If I rmmod
ehci-hcd then I can use those devices as USB 1.1 only. Devices
supporting only USB 1.1 still work fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.10-741_FC3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run 2.6.10-741_FC3 kernel on above system
2. 
3.
    

Actual Results:  USB 2.0 devices not detected at all

Expected Results:  USB 2.0 devices detected

Comment 1 Robert Hancock 2005-01-20 05:08:52 UTC
Tried the previous 2.6.10-1.737 kernel, that one didn't work either.

Comment 2 Robert Hancock 2005-02-05 02:39:40 UTC
Still broken in update kernel 2.6.10-1.760. I still have to use kernel
2.6.9 because of this issue.

Will attach output of dmesg and lsusb when devices are not detected.

Comment 5 Robert Hancock 2005-02-05 23:49:51 UTC
Reported to linux-usb-devel - this was found to be due to a workaround
for another issue in 2.6.10 causing problems on nForce4 due to another
issue in the nForce4 EHCI controller. The patch described in this
thread resolved the issue:

Comment 6 Robert Hancock 2005-02-27 08:26:36 UTC
Problem still present in kernel 2.6.10-766.

Comment 7 Dave Jones 2005-07-15 20:43:55 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.

Comment 8 Robert Hancock 2005-07-16 04:06:26 UTC
This seems to be fixed in recent FC3 kernels as well as FC4.
