Same info as you. Heres how one of the CPU looks like:

I have downloaded this and it doesnt seem like i have that problem.

I am going to try and make pipeline = 1 and see what the effect is
on processing.

I am recompiling the kernel turning on EHCI to see if that problem
goes away once i turn things on in the BIOS.

BTW, kernel compile takes forever on this thing ..
