Hi,

I'm a "new" user to Linux, and I'm working to get USB up on my  PII450 with an
"Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controll" as reported by Windows98.

I'm getting Oops panics 0.1second after the usb-uchi.o loads using the 
99-pre8 kernel with the USB that
came with it.

  I "upgraded" to http://usb.in.tum.de/download/usb/usb-latest.tgz which 
was version: 20000314.

I subscribed to linux-usb mailing list and read 7 days of messages.

A number of questions:

1. why does the mailing list discuss "usb-x.x.x-pre9-2" when the "usb-latest"
    claims to be version 20000314
2. where can I grab the "up-to-date" source if this is not source tree we
    are discussing here, so I can "sync" with the mailing list
3. JE talks about the "alternate" driver for uhci. Is this included in
    the same usb-x.x.x-pre9-2 source tree or are there competing trees.
4. Does using the alternate just mean:
    modprobe usbcore.o
    modprobe usb-uhci.o   <-interchange->  modprobe uhci.o
    modprobe acm.o

and the big question:

its taking me 5-8 minutes to boot, fsck, login in and do "modprobe etc.."
its taking linux 0.1 second to oops and panic
I have /dev/swap and /dev/root
how can I speed up this "testing loop" ?
how can I ensure the oops message is logged to kernmsg ?
what information do you want in reporting oops ?
(ie i've seen people copy in their entire logs of kernmsg, init.rd,
  /dev/proc/pci etc...)


Thanks in advance,

Jon Hogan-Doran
(p.s I requeted a FAQ on the mailing list via the mailing list server.. but 
there is none)
