You are getting this as the next line after that: 0000:00:02.1 EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?) 01010001 You might want to try upgrading your BIOS, it seems like the BIOS is not letting go of the USB controller when Linux tries to take over. I don't know if that's related to the problem though. If that doesn't work, I'd try a newer kernel version. -- 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/
