Hi Nicolas.

 ..._I_ am the stupid one, Nicolas :)

 Could you pleas e give me a short hint, how I should handle
 what I have found (USB probs) with the bugzilla interface.
 Haven't used it before...

 THANKS! :O)

 Keep hacking!

Bugzilla is very user-unfriendly at first but one get used to it and
it's very powerful (plus lots of projects use it)

Usually when you have found a problem you should :

1. Search if it's not already reported (query, usually search by
summary/description gets the broadest results)

2. If you find a bug that looks the same :
* add yourself to the CC list
* add a comment stating your problem and why you think it's the same

If it's not the same problem the maintainer which knows best will tell
you to open another bug (so if you're not sure, ask about it in your
comment)

3. if you didn't find any similar problem open a new bug. The important
parts are
* Fill it in the best category so it will be directed to the good person
* Use a « catchy » summary which makes clear what the problem is
* Attach relevant files (often dmesg, kernel config, lspci)
* Only specify the person to whom the bug should be assigned if you're
sure of what you're doing (ie this person is already treating similar
bugs) ! Bad assignment will loose time and annoy people, and bugzilla
will try to select the right maintainer based on the category you've
chosen if you leave the field blank.

Note bugzilla is very flexible ; if you made mistakes the bug will be
reclassified/redirected till it's filled correctly (however this will
take time)

Moreover note bugzilla usage for the kernel is fairly recent. Some
maintainers are still not used to it, so they'll also make mistakes.

Last hint : all bugzilla fields are commented, usually a link right next
to each field will lead to an explanation.

Please try 2.4.21-rc2. If that also does not work, attach your .config
to the reply.

Well, if it's the same bug as 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15, 
I'm certainly seeing it also with 2.5.64-ac1. Old 2.4.-ac kernels used to be
fine, I fear they have nowe been "fixed" to match 2.5.

Maybe you should be cc'd on this bug ?

Lucky you. I'm on a 100% hid input setup (mouse *and* keyboard), the 
hardware is great on the kernels that support it, but is seems good
Linux support is not here yet:(.

Hi Alan, 

 thanks for your reply! 

 Unfortunately it does not solve the problem:
 As long as uhci (or USB per se) is not present, things do work.

 But uhci/USB get confused and repeats the message (in my last mail)
 endlessly i fcompbined with APIC mode.

 Therefore it seems that APIC is working with my VIA board without USB.
 But I cannot live without USB ... my mouse is USBish and X without a
 mouse is a little ... hmmm senseless.

 Any ideas else?

 Keep Hacking!

You need at least 2.4.21-pre5-ac, or 2.5.64-ac (I just sent Linus the
relevant changes) to use APIC on the VIA chipset systems. You also need
a BIOS with correct tables, which can also be a little tricky to find
in uniprocessordom

2.5.64p5 No USB support when APIC mode enabled

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I got some problems with USB (in my case the mouse).
 If I enable "APIC" in the BIOS of the motherboard,
 usb failed to "accept" my USB device.

 It constantly prints on the console (and log file):

 Mar  7 08:14:33 solfire kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
 Mar  7 08:14:33 solfire kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 (error=-110)
 Mar  7 08:14:39 solfire kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
 Mar  7 08:14:39 solfire kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=5 (error=-110)
 Mar  7 08:14:44 solfire kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
 Mar  7 08:14:44 solfire kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=6 (error=-110)

 the address is constantly increased...printing does not stop, I hat
 to rmmod uhci for that.

 The mouse was not recognized.

 The failure seems to arise before  the mouse is recognized as such.

 I cannot decide, whether it is a problem of the motherboard or a
 linux kernel thingy...

 My system:
 Linux 2.4.21rc5
 EPoX 8K5A3+ (VIA KT333) motherboard
 Athlon XP 2400+
 DDR RAM 256 MB (Samsung)
 USB Mouse
 USB Cardreader

 I have enabled in the linux config:
 CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
 CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
 CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
 CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
 CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
 CONFIG_APM=m
 CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y

 CONFIG_USB=m
 CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
 CONFIG_USB_UHCI=m
 CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m
 CONFIG_USB_OHCI=m
 CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m
 CONFIG_USB_HID=m
 CONFIG_USB_KBD=m
 CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m

 What did I wrong ?

 Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

 Kind regards,
 Meino Cramer
