Hmmm... This looks like a group of Gigabyte mobo users all having the same problem. I wonder if the bug is in the usb controller Gigabyte is using or in the kernel? I also get some error messages related to usb with a 2.4.27-1-k7 Debian-built kernel too. However, once it boots all usb devices work correctly. The error on the 2.4 kernel during boot is usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout. It will timeout anywhere from 4 to 10 times before everything loads properly.On Mon, 25 Oct 2004 11:18:50 -0700, Freddy Freeloader wrote:
I have been having problems getting the 2.6 kernel to properly identify my usb ports when my printer and scanner are plugged in. The boot process will hang where hotplug is loading the usb modules and configuring the usb devices. The error is "control timeout on ep0in".
same here; never found anything useful Googling
If the printer and scanner are not plugged in the computer will boot normally but only occasionally can I get "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart" to complete successfully.
never worked for me
ditto on firewire (non-existent);This weekend I downloaded Knoppix and found something interesting when booting in the "expert26" mode. Hotplug will find the USB ports but not load anything. It then says firewire is found on my computer (there is no firewire capability on this motherboard and I own no firewire devices) and goes on to "configure" the firewire devices it finds.
Once booted I can install my printer but it immediately says the printer is paused as no such device is available on this machine.
Why this is so interesting is because I compiled my own 2.6.8 kernel using a Knoppix .config file. Apparently there seems to be a bug either in the hardware on my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7IXE4) or in the way the Knoppix .config file is recognizing my hardware.
Knoppix indeed recognized and initialized my shiny new Sandisk 8-in-1 and Canon A-75! What's this? uname -r shows a 2.4 kernel- hmmm, musta entered boot params incorrectly- reboot to 2.6 kernel- same probs. as in Sarge. Mandrake Move is only live cd I tried with 2.6 kernel that actually worked, and it worked perfectly (re usb devices; actually, it's pretty slick overall, and as an (ex) Drakie, I got a bit misty). However, unable to translate Mandrake to Debian, so a reversion to a 2.4 kernel was in order (now experiencing a more joyful state of mind). BTW, I'm using ga-7ixe, so will be keenly watching thread- good luck to us both!!
My printer is an HP Deskjet 895C and my scanner is an HP 6200 C.
Oh, and about my mobo having a lan port as a firewire port, well, this mobo was made before firewire even existed.
