*Troy looks at the various packages built for 4.7 then says*
It looks like we have a new hwdata package. Although usually that is only
needed for new hardware, I'm wondering if it is needed with the new kernel,
another one of those "We didn't tell anybody this, but you have to update this
package to get that package to work".
Does anything get fixed if you update your hwdate with this version

This is the second USB problem that we've heard dealing with this kernel.
There is a brand new bugfix kernel out today that said it deals with a USB bug.
"* USB devices would not be detected on a PowerEdge R805 system. USB devices
are now able to be detected on the aforementioned system with this update."
I'm wondering if it is more than the Poweredge systems having a problem.
I'm still rebuilding that kernel, but I will put it up into the testing area
when it's done so you can see if it helps or not.

Hello,
I found out that the usb 2.0 support is broken in kernel 2.6.9-78 (smp
version).
If I insert an usb stick I get this in /var/log/messages:
Aug 4 10:14:25 lxcip59 kernel: usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using

If I remove the kernel module "ehci_hcd". I can insert the stick, but it
is only "full speed" and not "high speed":

If I go back to kernel-smp-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL.i686.rpm the problem with
ehci_hcd is gone.
Best regards,
Andreas
