The first one would be useless - I inserted lots of printouts to find out where the freeze took place, and I know that the EHCI_USBLEGSUP_BIOS flag is on (cap is 0x10001). The value remains the same after the 'spin till it hands it over' loop - so that this printout appears: 0000:00:13.2 EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?) About the second thing you suggest: do you refer to this call? /* just in case, always disable EHCI SMIs */ pci_write_config_dword(pdev, offset + EHCI_USBLEGCTLSTS, 0); In my machine, the write takes place without apparent ill effects. If I add it as an else clause to the "if LEGSUP_BIOS" test, it won't execute, because the EHCI_USBLEGSUP_BIOS flag is on. In case you need it: hcc_params is 0xa012.
