Hello,
I got your email-addresses from my /var/log/boot.msg.
The kernel switch 'pci=routeirq' solved the following problem:
Setup:
- VIA KT880 mainboard with a Geode-CPU
- SUSE Linux 10.0, kernel 2.6.13-15-default
- USB-mass storage device (2.5' Samsung disk, chipset can presumably be
identified if needed)
Booting WITHOUT 'pci=routeirq':
- When the USB-disk had been connected BEFORE booting, the device would
freeze upon loading ehci-hcd and usb-storage. usb-storage would be
unable to read the partion table.
- After physically disconnecting and reconnecting the device everything
would be fine.
- This problem would not occur with uhci-hcd instead of ehci-hcd.
Booting WITH 'pci=routeirq':
- Everything works fine also when the USB-disk was connected BEFORE boot.
I enclose the output of 'lspci -bvv' (booted with 'pci=routeirq') as a
text file. If you want further info, I'm very willing to help. (I have
benefitted a lot from the work of the Open Source Community and given
very little back)
Kind regards,
Lutz Urban, Germany
