For i386, non-generic kernel failed to build with xhci and even after removing xhci; GENERIC compiled OK. xhci could be included in GENERIC with # at the beginning of the line and a note #experimental: may be broken, use at your own risk That way, users would know it's a work in progress as opposed to being ignored.

The backplane still has to notice it somehow. Also, "generally" is, I suspect, an artifact of the hardware you've worked with. Most of my SCA equipment is not that smart - the SS20, for example, uses SCA but has nothing of the sort as far as I can tell. To get back on the original subthread, I wouldn't want to connect or disconnect a load from a bus that's got live operations going on it; for hot-swap, I'd expect switching electronics that does the disconnect/reconnect before/after the electrical contact is broken/made, and timed to not disrupt a transfer in progress. Either that or I'd use bidirectional buffer logic, so there is nothing like a direct electrical connection between the SCA pins and the SCSI bus. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTMLmo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B

That's true, but, generally, SCA backplanes are intelligent devices which can report device insertion/removal to the host over the SCSI bus - see ses(4). Thor

So adding xhci into GENERIC looks a bit stupid and it should be reverted. --- Izumi Tsutsui

Disabling the USB 3 host controller in BIOS allowed it to boot, though obviously without the xhci. xhci was just recently added to GENERIC which is why you are seeing it now. Gary Duzan
amd64 hangs during boot
