User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010809

Description of problem:
The kernel detects the USB UHCI Root Hubs on my AOpen AK73 Pro(A) MoBo ,
but does not recognize the attached USB Intellimouse and Wacom Graphire
tablet devices.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Clean Install Roswell 2
2.cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
3.
	

Actual Results:  /proc/bus/usb/devices shows:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=12  MxCh= 2
B:  Alloc=  0/900 us ( 0%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  0

E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=255ms


Expected Results:  I would expect to see entries for the mouse and tablet.

Also, disconnecting and reconnecting a device to the USB bus generates the
following entries in /var/log/messages:

Please attach the contents of "/proc/interrupts".

Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2001-09-08 15:40:10 UTC
I think it is the Tyan Tyger redux - broken BIOS for KT1333.
USB is not getting interrupts.

Does the BIOS print anything interesting on the screen
when it starts, about the IRQ ##? Also, try to wiggle
any settings in it.



Comment 4 bastiaan 2001-09-08 16:19:16 UTC
Well, I tried to 'wiggle' some settings, but the Award BIOS of the motherboard
hasn't many USB related ones:
* disable/enable USB.
* Plug&Play OS.
* disable/enable IRQ for USB.

I tried all settings for the last two options, but none did improve the situation.
The BIOS doesn't print any interesting info at boot time.

Any suggestions? Both mouse and table DO work with Win2000 professional....





Comment 5 bastiaan 2002-05-22 15:37:11 UTC
I've changed the product field to RH Linux, since the problem is still there in
RH7.2 and RH7.3.
Could you please explain what you mean with 'Tyan Tiger redux', or where to find
more information on the subject? Thanks!

Comment 6 Arjan van de Ven 2002-05-28 13:52:17 UTC
does W2K tell you which irq USB uses ?

Comment 7 bastiaan 2002-06-03 20:55:55 UTC
Hi, sorry for the slow reply: had already wiped the original Win2000 install. A
fresh Win2000 Professional gives:

VIA USB UHCI 1: IRQ 11, I/O C400-C41F, PCI bus 0, dev 7, func 2
VIA USB UHCI 2: IRQ 11, I/O C800-C81F, PCI bus 0, dev 7, func 3

If you want more data, please let me know. Thanks.





Comment 8 bastiaan 2002-07-24 21:18:03 UTC
Finally I got USB working: a BIOS upgrade fixed the problem. Relevant info:

Motherboard: AOpen AK73 Pro(A).
Broken BIOS versions: at least 1.13 (and earlier ?).   
Fixed BIOS version: 1.18 (maybe others > 1.13 are OK too)

Tested on RH 7.3 with kernel-2.4.18-3.

The corrected BIOS is available at:

Thanks, BB
