A few days ago I reported of my Asus A6k laptop crashing with the
new 2.6.14 kernel compiled from debian-packaged sources upon loading the
ehci_hcd module. It looked like I had to update the BIOS, which I did, and
the problem seemed to go away, as I reported in another email. Unfortunately
it had not gone away, as I later found out. However it became predictable:
now my laptop crashes with the above kernel if and only if there is nothing
connected to the USB ports. If a mouse or a pendrive is connected, it boots
ok. After some digging, I traced the problem to the attached change:
reverting the git patch in attachment, the problem disappears. Of course,
before reporting I tried with the latest stable released kernel, to no
avail.
Any hint, anybody? Anybody else experiencing the same problem? Should the
patch be reverted or is it a buggy BIOS/ACPI/whatever?
TIA,
Giacomo

[PATCH] USB: misc ehci updates
Various minor EHCI updates
* Dump some more info in the debug dumps, notably the product
description (e.g. chip vendor), BIOS handhake flags, and
debug port status (when it's not managed by the HCD).
* Minor updates to the BIOS handoff code: always flag the HCD
as owned by Linux (in case BIOS doesn't grab it "early"),
and on the buggy-BIOS path always match the "early handoff"
code and forcibly disable SMI IRQs.
* For the disabled 64bit DMA support, there's now a constant
to use for the mask; use it.
