[this is a resend] Hi all, Problem: We are seeing the BM_STS bit stuck at 1, when the USB driver is enabled on Linux. Why this is important: ACPI defines processor power-saving states C0, C1, C2 and C3. We cannot enter C3 if there is busmastering activity, and so we check BM_STS. If this is high when it should not be, and we are therefore not using C3, we are losing battery life. The ICH2 datasheet says the following on p. 9-63: "Bus Master Status (BM_STS)- R/WC. 1 = Set by the ICH2-M when a bus master requests a break from the C3 state (the bus master break events are generated by PIRQ[x]# assertion or bus master activity by any of ICH2-M's internal bus masters). Bus master activity is detected by any of the PCI requests being active, any internal bus master request being active, the AGPBUSY# signal being active, or activity on either of the ICH2-M's USB Controllers. A USB Controller is considered active if all three of the following conditions are true 1. The controller is not in Global Suspend 2. At least one of the controller's ports is not suspended 3. The USB RUN bit is set" So, which of these three conditions is true, and does it have to be? We also see this behavior on Windows 2000, but only when a device is plugged in (invoking condition 2, I guess...)
