Hi Guys,

having a Lenovo W530 here with a strange issue: Half of the USB Ports aren't working.


dmesg shows a couple of lines like that:
Quote:
[ 3.735272] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd
[ 3.837226] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -11
[ 4.040164] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -11


google says, that's because of some USB ports being overloaded but the same stuff works using windows... I'm running out of ideas.

dmesg: http://pastebin.com/AebdLWYk

This isn't a direct solution, but it might help: Pappy's Kernel Seeds. You'll get a more efficient kernel, and Pappy covers the section on USB drivers pretty well.

backing up a bit -

do they work from a livecd of any sort? say, sysrescuecd?

i ask, because im wondering if maybe this isnt the difference between UHCI and OHCI

I have one system (asus) where, if i have UHCI loaded, my 1.1 interfaces will not work at all
so I must use OHCI, and nuke UHCI entirely
UHCI will load just fine, but nothing will work.

is a shot in the dark, but worth looking at i guess

my thought with the livecd is we can figure out what it's using, and go from there.

good idea in theory:

USB works in sysresccd - kernel config grep here:

Code:
root@sysresccd /root % grep EHCI kernel-3.6.6-alt311-amd64.conf
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=y
# CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD_PLATFORM is not set
root@sysresccd /root % grep UHCI kernel-3.6.6-alt311-amd64.conf
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y


looks like they use both.

what's sysrescuecd show as the in-use driver (lspci -kvv) ?

i think I(we?) may be chasing a dead end here, but who knows.

Let's see what we got...


Code:
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04) (prog-if 30 [XHCI])
   Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd


00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 04) (prog-if 20 [EHCI])
   Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd


00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04) (prog-if 20 [EHCI])
   Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd


So that's XHCI for USB3 and EHCI for the rest; Same as in my kernel...

It's a known bug in RedHat
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=532582

at least the solution worked
