Hi, I wrote to this list before, someone told me just to upgrade the kernel... and that didnīt helped. In fact I had a lot of fun trying a lot of kernels, downloading sources, (almost a GB so far), and trying configs compilation files, but NONE of them worked with USB support for my Laptop Compaq 1210us. In fact only the Rage Mobility Video card and the sound card worked at the first install. Everything else needed retouch. But USB is my real need. I suppose that this laptop is the problem. Duron 850Mhz etc, almost everything VIA chips, works with ACPI, PCI and ISA pnp, PCMCIA, etc. But listen, other OS, like WinME (1999! software), WinXP, FreeDOS, MSDOS, from the box recognize that the USB hub is UHCI... You wouldnīt believe me, but I succeded at installing WinME on my USB harddrive, just for fun. I donīt even need to read the internal hd!!!, just a diskette and the USB harddrive!. I would gladly exchange the tricks, but I need serious help here. Well, I was working with RedHat 9.0 kernel 2.4.20-8 (from the box), then 2.4.20-19.9 (RH last stable), then 2.4.21 (official last stable), then 2.5.75 (desperate meassures)... all of them booted correctly WITHOUT USB, I mean with "nousb" as parameter. All of them were then recompiled succesfully, with very little change, only the USB part to support UHCI, and all of them hanged abruptly and without any warning at the first boot, as simply as that. Where? exactly after USB lines. IRQ 5 etc... 2 ports etc. and then, nothing. If you wnat to help me I would send you the exact lines, just tell me what kernel! When working with modules, insmod uhci (any), ohci or ehci didnīt worked either. There has to be another way; from my point of view Linux is useless without USB support. I need the Linux to support my old hub. This laptop is not new, why the new kernels do nothing with it?, and for anyoneīs sake! this is a Compaq, not exactly pirateware!!, do I need to become an expert just to read some file on my usb harddrive? Iīm not an expert with Linux, but Iīm not a newbie with computers, so please, I need an expert to help me out. Iīm going to refuse to use Linux anymore, just for this little thing?
