Hi there,

Just downloaded and compiled a vanilla 2.4.25 kernel and tested. The

hangs the system.



I think you need a kernel with usbcore etc. compiled into it. Your
new system appears to be set up to load the usb modules OK when it
sees you plug in the keyboard (probably 'hotplug' does that) but not
when the system is booted with the keyboard already attached.


I created a new kernel with usbcore, hid, uhci, mousedev and keybdev in it. Furthermore, since I saw that my initscripts are doing fancy 'insmod' stuff, I am now booting with init=/bin/sh to do the testing.

1. Booting with keyboard and without usb mouse:
Just after the shell prompt: I have the following messages:
...kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
...USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [BTC USB Keyboard] on usb1:3.0
And it is impossible to use the keyboard. Before the prompt, I have messages similar to the syslog messages in my first mail, but now without any complaints because of missing modules, so I suppose I created my kernel correctly.
If I unplug the keyboard, I have the following message every 5 seconds or so:
host/usb_uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame <a number>


2. Booting without keyboard, plug in the keyboard after boot.
Similar behaviour as in the previous point.

3. Booting without keyboard, with usb mouse.
Got an oops message during boot. Afterwards, the same usb messages if I plug in the keyboard - the system hangs. If you are interested in the details of the oops, I think the easiest way to transfer this is to post a picture of my screen somewhere on the net - or is there a way to log these messages that are occuring so early in the boot process?




73, Ged.



Thanks,

Bruno
