Hello Folks, I upgraded to FC2 recently and immediately ran into USB
problems that I had never encountered previously, the USB being very
reliable on earlier RH releases.

On kernel 2.6.5 (the kernel that came with the dist. CDs) USB was
extremely flakey with my Zip drive and, particularly, the HD not being
recognised at all almost all the time. I upgraded to kernel 2.6.6 but
the USB problem still exists. It is particularly useless as it stands.

I googled around and found a workaround that seems to work fairly
reliably, which is to remove the ehci_hcd module before plugging in my
Zip drive (USB powered) and/or turning on my HD (own PS).

Is this problem fixed yet in the 2.6 kernels? If so, what updates do I
need? If not, what uses the ehci_hcd module? If nothing uses it how can
I stop it loading at boot time?

TIA
