    I have been having problems getting the 2.6 kernel to properly identify
    my usb ports when my printer and scanner are plugged in. The boot
    process will hang where hotplug is loading the usb modules and
    configuring the usb devices. The error is "control timeout on ep0in".
    If the printer and scanner are not plugged in the computer will boot
    normally but only occasionally can I get "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart"
    to complete successfully.

    This weekend I downloaded Knoppix and found something interesting when
    booting in the "expert26" mode. Hotplug will find the USB ports but not
    load anything. It then says firewire is found on my computer (there is
    no firewire capability on this motherboard and I own no firewire
    devices) and goes on to "configure" the firewire devices it finds.

    Once booted I can install my printer but it immediately says the printer
    is paused as no such device is available on this machine.

    Why this is so interesting is because I compiled my own 2.6.8 kernel
    using a Knoppix .config file. Apparently there seems to be a bug either
    in the hardware on my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7IXE4) or in the way the
    Knoppix .config file is recognizing my hardware.

    Is there a known bug in the Knoppix .config file with the 2.6 kernel
    concerning firewire and usb? Or, is this a bug in the 2.6 kernel?

    As a relative noob I'm unsure and don't want to unnecessarily be turning
    in bug reports.
