HI I performed a harware upgrade on a mandrake 9.0 installation. Here is the situations before and after:
Before: ASUS (older) mother board with two USB 1.0 access points. USB working well. PIII processor After: ASUS P4S8X motherboard with 4 USB 2.0 access points. USB not working properly. What happens is the following: During startup I am told that it was not possible to modprobe: insmod usb-ohci. Maybe due to incorrect IO or IRQ adresses. I have tried to start the with linux -noapic, but that did not make any changes I have also turned APIC off in the bios. One the system is up and running I have tried the following: insmod usb-ohci, but it does not work If I then do a "modprobe usb-ohci" everything works fine and i can mount the USB drives What is the difference between insmod and modprobe and why does it not work during startup, but ok once the machine is up and running???? Regard Lars Ole.
