Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: normal
I have compiled my kernel from the Debian sources (2.6.8-16) and I havo
found that on an Asus P4P800 mainboard (that worked with 2.4.26) when I
do "modprobe usb-ehci" I get the following error in syslog:
casa kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1d.7[D] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ
23
casa kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB2
EHCI Controller
casa kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: BIOS handoff failed (104, 1010001)
casa kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: can't reset
casa kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: init 0000:00:1d.7 fail, -95
casa kernel: ehci_hcd: probe of 0000:00:1d.7 failed with error -95
The module gets loaded but usb2 peripherals fail to work completely.
I have googled for some more info, and found that this is a known issue
with kernel 2.6.8 and some BIOSes.
Here is a link to a discussion about it:

The 2.6.8 kernel is no longer supported by Debian so I'm closing
your bug report. Please try the 2.6.26 kernel from Debian lenny.
If this issue is still present, let me know.
Thanks.
