I filed bug #5935.
The BIOS contains 4 fields related to USB. In the 'Integrated
peripherals' menu:
USB EHCI Controller
Onchip USB Controller
Onchip USB KBC Controller
In the 'PnP/PCI configurations' menu:
Assign IRQ for USB
All four only allow a choice between enable/disable. As expected,
disabling the first one makes the 0000:00:13.2 pci device
disappear. This results in the completing of the boot process. I am
writing this from a working 2.6.15 kernel, and I can mount my USB hard
disk. It probably works in 1.1 mode.
I noticed that the new motherboard's USB device is OHCI-based, while
the previous one was UHCI-based. The OHCI driver was previously not
compiled in. EHCI was functional even without a working OHCI module
(in 2.6.14). Compiling in the OHCI driver has had no effect in the
boot hang with EHCI enabled - the machine still hangs, and the output
is identical.
Disabling the second field (Onchip USB Controller) makes all USB
devices disappear - boot is OK, but there is no usb activity at all.
The third field has no evident effect. This is true of the fourth one
too (the one about IRQ assignment). I saw no change in boot logs.
Complete dmesg output for the successful 2.6.15 boot with EHCI
disabled can be downloaded from http://www.fluido.as/files/dmesg.txt.
