The default IRQ that my motherboard sets for USB 2.0 controller and the Sound Card is "12" if no PS/2 mouse is plugged-in (generally IRQ12 is reserved to PS/2 mouse) , but the PS/2 Mouse port is always present , also if no mouse is plugged-in , and the linux PS/2 mouse driver occupies the IRQ 12 when loads , so , when it's the time of the USB 2.0 controller driver the booting hangs up. Is not possible adding a feature in the kernel , that if the PS/2 driver doesn't find any mouse plugged in the port just leve free the IRQ12 instead of catching it up? (if this feature is not already implemented , but it is doesn't work for me) Marcello > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Maggio" > To: "walt" > Cc: > Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 6:22 PM > Subject: Re: IRQ USB , freezes with ABIT KV7 > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "walt" > > To: "Maggio" > > Cc: > > Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 4:19 PM > > Subject: Re: IRQ USB , freezes with ABIT KV7 > > > > > > > Maggio wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi all , > > > > > > > > I've recently switched from an MSI KT4 Ultra motherboard to an Abit > KV7 > > > > board ,and the system worked well until today that I'm attempting to > > > > reinstall the system . > > > > > > > > It seems that the USB make some conflicts in IRQ , infact , if I > enable > > > > the option "Allocate IRQ to USB" in the BIOS , I'm unable to start any > > > > Installation CD of any distribution , the booting simply hangup . > > > > > > Is there a BIOS setting for 'USB Legacy Support'? > > > > I've checked in the BIOS and doesn't seem to exist (I have Award BIOS ) , > > maybe it has another name?
