Hi, Well, basically if I use usb-uhci instead of uhci, the computer locks during the shutdown process. I believe I've used the stock Mandrake 8.1 kernel as well as 2.4.17 and 2.4.18-rc1 with similar results. Mandrake even seems to make a note of the issue: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/errata.php3 "Error scenario: The computer locks up when shutting down or when stopping the usb service. Why: In certain cases, the usb-uhci module is broken for some usb devices. Solution: Modify your /etc/modules.conf file and change the line "alias usb-interface usb-uhci" to "alias usb-interface uhci". The change will take effect after the next shutdown and will prevent the usb service from locking up the computer." I have a Brother HL-1450 Postscript printer and an HP Scanjet 6300C attached, FWIW. The reason I'd like to switch back to usb-uhci instead of uhci is twfold: Vmware seems to want to only use usb-uhci and not uhci (dummies!). And uhci seems to be unable to get the scanner going such that it doesn't "stutter" all the way down the page. usb-uhci seems to be able to keep up so that it just sweeps on down the page. I saw the thread on usb-uhci on 2.5, and it looked so similar that I (incorrectly) assumed them to be one and the same problem.
