Still no joy on this. Tried: sudo rmmod ehci_hcd
On boot, modified kernel parameters by adding: irqpoll noapic pci=irqroute pci=noacpi acpi=off Nothing of benefit happened with any (or all) of these options. Did find in the /media folder some empty folders: usb0 usb1 . . . usb7 Deleted all of them. And guess what?! . . . nothing. Updated the install. Nothing. Getting seriously miffed here. I've become the de-facto Ubuntu support guy to the community of about 8 new converts at work, but am getting a little embarrassed by not having any USB functionality on my own machine!! (Not to mention having lost modem support with the upgrade from 8.04 - no driver available for 8.10 two months after release.) -- No USB connections mount in 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
