So how did this happen? At boot uhci_hcd got modprobed in first. ehci_hcd 34060 0 uhci_hcd 25488 0 usbcore 130696 5 usbmon,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd But ehci registered it's bus before uhci: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/extra/tcpdump$ dmesg | grep bus ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 5 I'm running with hyperthreading turned on, is it an SMP thing? -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
