That seemed to clear the error message, and my 1.1 devices at least, still work fine. Perhaps the error message could be changed to point users in the right direction to fixing this, perhaps something more like "0000:00:1d.7 EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug? Try disabling legacy USB support in BIOS if it is enabled)" Anyway, thanks for the hint (and sorry for the noise). reuben - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
