I'm running Ubuntu 5.04 with 2.6.10-5-amd64-k8-smp.

Because I've been having random lockups that seem to go away when I
turn off usb (VIA chipset) in the bios, I have bought a pci usb card
(NEC chip). I assumed that this would have been detected and configured
at boot up, but I'm obviously missing something.

dmesg says:-
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
and
ohci_hcd: 2004 Nov 08 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI)
USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v2.2

I tried mounting usbfs and there was no command line complaint from
mount

lsmod says:-
uhci_hcd               36064  0
ohci_hcd               24008  0
ehci_hcd               33412  0

/proc/bus/usb exists but is empty

What do I need to do to get usb working? Will the pci card work even
when usb is turned off in the bios, or do I have to enable it and just
not use the onboard usb?

Basically, I have an Iomega Zip drive, which was previously seen
as /dev/sda4  (which currently doesn't exist in /dev), and an Epson
640U scanner.

Thanks,
- Richard.
