Re: Problem recognising the USB2.0 PCI card...

On Wed, 15 Mar 2006 20:50:47 +0100, switcher staggered into the Black
Sun and said:
In /etc/modules I tried to add ehci-hcd but that didn't solve the
problem... What module should I load ??

ehci-hcd is the right module for all common USB 2 controllers.

I have ubuntu 5.10.

Which kernel version?

USB Controller: Reply Group: Unknown device 3038 (rev 61)
USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller (rev 61)
USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01)

Right, "unknown device" isn't promising. Your pciutils are too old to
recognize the device, so your ?hci-hcd modules may not have that device
in their working devices lists.

0000:00:10.0 USB Controller: Reply Group: Unknown device 3038 (rev 61)
(prog-if 00 [UHCI])
I/O ports at 1060 [disabled] [size=32]

"Disabled"? Is this thing disabled in the BIOS? Where's its IRQ?

0000:00:10.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 255
I/O ports at 0100 [disabled] [size=32]

IRQ 255? That doesn't sound right. All the USB controllers on the
machine need a valid ISA IRQ. 255 may or may not be a valid IRQ. The
AMD64 system at work says "Pin A routed to IRQ 209" for the SCSI card,
and that certainly works, but 255 is special (obviously) so you may want
to check your BIOS Setup out and make sure it's not on crack. Also, a
machine that old may not work properly with APIC, so you may wish to
play with APIC-related boot options.

0000:00:14.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10
I/O ports at 1020 [size=32]

Output like this is what I expected to see for the other USB
controllers.

[4294667.296000] ACPI: SSDT (v001 COMPAQ VILLTBL1 0x00000001 MSFT
[4294667.296000] Detected 498.994 MHz processor.

A 500Mhz Compaq PIII? You can probably get a better machine by dumpster
diving.

[4294672.893000] PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq". If it
helps, post a report

Have you tried this? Try it and tell us what happens.

[4294681.098000] uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: Found HC with no IRQ. Check
BIOS/PCI 0000:00:10.0 setup!

Yeah, that too.

[4295798.845000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xaa
[4295798.845000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e02a <keycode>' to make it known.

What's this all about? Oh well, try the things I wrote about and see
what you can come up with.
