Description of problem: Early in the boot process, I find that this error is ALWAYS reported, and has been on every F7 version since the install DVD: usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -71 My hardware: Clevo D870P notebook. And sometimes during the boot process additionally these: usb-5-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32 usb-5-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32 usb-5-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32 usb-5-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32 usb=5=1/4: device not accepting address 10, error -32 usb=5=1/4: device not accepting address 11, error -32 I will attach a photo of the screen. And sometimes during the boot process, errors about mknod which prevent a successful boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 in fact all Fedora 7 releases I've seen, since the DVD original How reproducible: I've described what happens every time above, and what doesn't happen every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. Watch early boot messages. Actual results: See attached image Expected results: No errors Additional information: Kernel is booted with irqpoll and pci=assign-busses options Without the irqpoll option, my audio doesn't work and there are "Nobody cared" exceptions from the audio IRQ. Without the pci=assign-busses option, the kernel logs messages about a pci bus being hidden behind a transparent bridge and if I remember correctly one of the devices doesn't get seen as a result.

The -71 seems like a transient happening when a device is being passed between EHCI and its companion controller. Sometimes we can make it go away by changing the order in which ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd/ohci_hcd are loaded. I would not pay it any attention unless other specific malfunction existed. The -32 is a so-called "stall", and it's bad. If a defice stalls enumeration it means that it does not work. It may be broken, or it may dislike how we enumerate. So, what is that 5-1.4 device? A fingerprint reader, memory stick slot, or what? Unfortunately, F-7 can't tell you. If FC-6 worked, and you have a CD with boot.iso on it, you can boot, go to Alt-F2, cat /proc/bus/usb/devices, look at anything with Bus=05.
I would think that F-7 can only not tell me when it comes up with those errors about 5-1.4, but it doesn't come up with those errors every time, so I believe F-7 can provide the details from a boot when it doesn't fail, which is what I've done below. Detail below. I never have had any trouble with it when hot-plugging it in rather than booting with it already plugged in. lsusb says: Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0dda:2026 Integrated Circuit Solution, Inc. cat /proc/bus/usb/devices says: T: Bus=05 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 4 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0dda ProdID=2026 Rev= 1.6e S: Manufacturer=ICSI S: Product=USB2.0 Card Reader S: SerialNumber=0000001 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.)

So what's this on about: usb 5-1.4: config 1 has an invalid interface number: 1 but max is 0 usb 5-1.4: config 1 has no interface number 0 usb 5-1.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice I would think that the relevant usb detail would be: C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA Why is it expecting a config number zero? None of the other usb devices on my system have a config number of zero.
BTW, Peter Jones has addressed the spurious -71 on boot by rearranging EHCI coming first at all times in mkinitrd. The fix is available in rawhide now. The rest of it seems like a duff device to me. The wrong number of configs might be caused by a descriptor not being read due to the stall (-32), but perhaps it's just zero in ROM itself.
But isn't the below a decoding of the content of the rom, showing the number of configs as 1 and the config number as 1? Could the invalid interface number issue be caused by a loop of the type for(i = 0; i < max; i++) instead of for(i = 1; i <= max; i++) seeing that the config numbers start at 1 and in this case finishes at 1 as well?

hmmm.... I sorted out the business about "config 1 has an invalid interface number: 1 but max is 0" It turns out that my USB mouse has been made compatible with Windows....see below, but not strictly with the USB spec. From http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/bus/USB/USBFAQ_intermed.mspx Windows XP (prior to Service Pack 2) mandates that interface numbers follow these rules: Interface numbers must be zero-based. Interface numbers must be consecutive and increasing. Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) relaxed the requirement that interface numbers be consecutive by making changes to the driver Usbccgp.sys. Beginning with SP2, interface numbers need only be increasing. From the USB 2 spec: bInterfaceNumber 1 Number Number of this interface. Zero-based value identifying the index in the array of concurrent interfaces supported by this configuration. So I guess now we're likely to see a new army of USB devices that are compatible with windows but not strictly with the USB spec. Groan. Anyway, linux usually seems to understand the device.
Hello David, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel as I'm struggling to see whether this has been resolved for you. If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
I've done some further testing with the 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 kernel, and: 1. I haven't seen any of the error messages with -32 error-code I've previously seen. 2. The following error messages appears whenever I have an external USB 2.0 hub plugged in at time of boot. I have tried two different usb 2.0 hubs and whenever I have either or both of them plugged in, I see this message appear once. The message appears whether or not there are any devices plugged into the hub(s), and none of the ports or devices are USB 1.x so I don't know why it is giving me the error about usb 1-1 as below. usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -71
Are these error messages preventing the device(s) from working correctly? At the moment I'm unable to tell whether these are spurious errors or are actually causing problems for you. Pete indicated a fixed mkinitrd was available, however this is just for F8 and upwards. My thinking would therefore be to close this as NEXTRELEASE.
The -71 error is not causing a problem and I haven't seen the others, so NEXTRELEASE seems fine.
