PROBLEM: no USB functionality with 2.6 kernels on Dell Dimension4500
From: Eric Firing
Date: Tue Apr 20 2004 - 02:28:37 EST
[1.] There is no USB functionality with 2.6.3 or 2.6.5 kernels on Dell
Dimension 4500.
[2.] USB has worked fine with 2.4 kernels from Mandrake through 9.2, but
stopped completely with the 2.6.3 kernels from Mandrake 10.0 Community
and Official. I downloaded and compiled a stock 2.6.5 kernel, and the
result is the same. I have USB working with 2.6.3 kernels on an old
Sony and on a new Dell Precision, so I am confident the problem is
peculiar to the Dell 4500. The symptoms are that the usb modules load
normally, but plugging in a USB peripheral (in this case, a Zip drive)
produces the following in /var/log/messages:
Apr 17 15:22:24 nene kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using
address 2
Apr 17 15:22:29 nene kernel: usb 2-1: control timeout on ep0out
Apr 17 15:22:29 nene kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: Unlink after no-IRQ?
Different ACPI or APIC settings may help.
The drive never spins, and shows no signs of having been connected.
Disconnecting the usb cable results in no additional messages. There is
no response to turning on or connecting a usb printer, either; both of
these peripherals work normally on this machine with the 2.4 kernels. (I
have found that one setup difference is needed when switching between
2.4 and 2.6 kernels on the machines that work normally: the hotplug
service needs to be enabled [in the init scripts, e.g. with chkconfig]
for 2.4 kernels, but must not be enabled for 2.6 kernels.)
Subsequent plug/unplug events produce no messages or response
whatsoever, regardless of the USB port used, until the machine is rebooted.
I have tried kernel options "noapic" and "acpi=off", as well as omitting
them; they make no difference. (I have had no problems with acpi and
apic using the 2.4 kernels on this machine.)
