I've reported this to Novell, bug report 231118, and also posted to
KDE-Linux list with no response from KDE-Linux, and it doesn't appear
that anyone at Novell has any reply yet to the problem report.  I
thought I'd check here if anyone has experienced this problem.  I've
installed SuSE 10.2 on a new HP Pavilion with AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual. I
had to use boot option ACPI=off in order to install.  Otherwise, the
boot hangs at "Starting udev...". After installation of 10.2, I still
have to use ACPI=off (does not power off at shutdown either, but that's
another problem).

Now for the problem.  External USB drive is not recogized when plugged
into USB 2.0 port. External drive has its own power supply.  Also, USB
memory stick is not recognized when plugged into USB port. I know the
ports work, since I have Windows XP installed as dual boot, and Windows
XP has no problem recongizing the devices.

There is no /proc/bus/usb defined.

lsusb shows no devices.  lsmod shows usbcore installed along with
ohci_hcd and ehci_hcd.

I have attached my startup log which shows some errors with ohci_hcd
and ehci_hcd drivers. I'm convinced these errors are at the cord of
the problem. And from what I've, perhaps it is related to the fact
that I can't boot with ACPI - I'm not an expert in kernel stuff and
drivers, though.
Specifically, these lines appears in the log:

<6>usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
<6>usbcore: registered new driver hub
....
<7>PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:10.1 to 64

There aren't any BIOS settings that will affect IRQs. It's an ASUS
A8N-BR motherboard with Phoenix Bios from Sept 2006 (i.e. it's
current). There is a USB Legacy Bios setting which is set to "AUTO".
I've tried that with "DISABLE" and "ENABLE" with no effect.

I've tried several other boot options in different combinations with no
effect: acpi_user_timer_override nomsi pci=routeirq acpi=oldboot
noapic When I use "noapic", boot messages suggest using "pci=biosirq".
However when I tried using "pci=biosirq", I get "biosirq unknown kernel
option" or something like that.

Any suggestions and/or comments appreciated.

Richard
