[Bug 214247] New: ohci-hcd irq lossage - sudden mouse and keyboard disconnect - nForce4 - Dell Dim. E521
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214247 Summary: ohci-hcd irq lossage - sudden mouse and keyboard disconnect - nForce4 - Dell Dim. E521 Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 URL: http://wpi-solutions.nl/ OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Keywords: dogfood Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: j.keet@wandromeda.demon.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de On brand new (14-10-2006) Dell Dimension E521, AMD64-X2 4200+ , 1 Gig, nForce4 chipset, mouse (and sometimes keyboard), keeps disconnecting very often. Nothing works: Recompile SuSE-kernel (2.6.16-4-smp) with different configs, acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, nosmp , in all combinations. Recompile mainstream-kernel (2.6.12 - 2.6.18) with different configs, acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, nosmp , in all combinations. As said, nothing works, the ohci-hcd kernel keeps saying: ohci-hcd irq lossage and the mouse stops working, until pulled out and replugged in. On kernels other than SuSE's 2.6.16-4 also ACPI gives blocking-trouble. Not one (!) kernel is able to bootup (hang during kernel invocation) with ACPI. Hardware is OK, in Windows XP pro it works perfectly, OHCI, ACPI, SMP, all of it. Frustrating is that Dell presents the Dimension E521 as a typical Linux system, also with AMD64-X2 and mentions SuSE as a distro. I bought this Dell, and also SuSE-boxed 10.1, but I cannot use it as it is supposed to be. Is it a combination-problem? Dell + nVidia + Linux-kernel ? Please help, my system is useless at this moment, and adding another pci32-usb card isn't an option, because the 2 pci32 slots must be used for other things. I know that others do have related nForce4 problems and there are no fixes at the time of writing. Perhaps Novell can fix this OHCI problem and even the ACPI trouble in kernel.org kernels, and supply it to the growing OpenSource community so that Dell + SuSE doesn't have to be a commercial lie anymore. Please tell me how I can help, or better supply me a fix ;-) Kind regards, Jeroen C.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214247 ------- Comment #8 from j.keet@wandromeda.demon.nl 2006-11-02 14:45 MST ------- My first thoughts also were buggy nForce430 hardware, and they still are. A lot (all?) of Dell Dimension E521's have this weird problem, but it only seems to appear under 64-bits linux. But I start to believe that other systems with nForce430 also have this problem. Knoppix works, but is 32bit (the working version). Windows XP-32 works. All other Linux 2.6 64 (x86_64) distro's fail. Tested SuSE10.1 boxed-version myself, also tested Knoppix myself. SuSE10.1 tested with A LOT of different kernels and kernel-parameters. Kernels worked fine, but -with- 'our' problem. Windows-64 (??) I don't know, but I fear. Placing a separate usb pci32 card works (not tested myself, but by others, and this also was one of my first thoughts), but is in the E521 not a good option due to lack of many pci32 slots and other reasons. Using an external usb hub (with power-adapter) seems to improve a little, but as stated by Jürgen Maier it can have trouble with boot-up and keyb/mouse recognization. But it is NO fix. Working with the system it STILL freezes the mouse, it only takes (a little) longer sometimes. First time I tried it myself (2 weeks ago) I really thought it worked, but no, after a while still the freeze and the irq lossage kernel message. I hope this can be workarounded in the kernel. A lot of GNU/Linux2.6-64-SMP users would be helped with it. Let's hope nVidia will admit these bugs, just as they did with the infamous 80-ns apic bug in nForce2 and the pin-1 bug also in nForce2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214247 ------- Comment #10 from j.keet@wandromeda.demon.nl 2006-11-03 02:22 MST ------- Thanks for your comments Jürgen. I admit, I've not tested 32bit, other than Knoppix, myself. So it's an interessting something. It means that Knoppix has a solution(?) Last week, after trying Knoppix, I tried a mainstream kernel (kernel.org) that's the same version as Knoppix uses, but with no luck in SuSE10.1. That is to say; in the Knoppix docs they tell they simply use an unmodified kernel.org kernel, but the -exact- release (subversion) I cannot get clear. So I tried a release that could match in my opinion, but as said, it didn't work, and I lost my interest concerning the dozens of try-outs I already did with kernels and with the same disappointing results. Thanks for your comments Jürgen, perhaps Greg can investigate this Knoppix difference, if he's got time? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I tried a powered hub, but this made the problem worse. Evidently (accoridng to kernel.org and ubuntu) this depends heavily on the brand of USB hub - the Dell Ultrasharp monitor built-in being a good one. I've decided to try a USB PCI card ()despite the lack of slots) and I will report on that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I think it's the first time this happens on any E521 ;-) Strange detail is that the freeze occured when I mounted /dev/sda8 as read/write. Could be accidentally, but I'll focus on freezes in combination with sata-harddisk writes. I've attached a txt file with dmesg output, look for the ohci_hcd 0000:00:0b.0: IRQ INTR_SF lossage at the end of the file. Perhaps stupid, but I also tested SATA cables on socket 2&3 instead of 1&2. Also set USB-Floppy bios support to OFF. None of these changes a thing. Although in WinXP-32 all things work, I found it worth to try these things. Next thing I'll try is to disconnect the usb-front flat-cable, as stupid as it sounds. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Tested with disconnected usb-front flat-cable. Do not do this. It dismounts your power-button and lets the cooling fan 'run like hell'. Tested with onboard vga only, no succes, still usb losses/freezes. Tested in SuSE10.1 install-kernel (graphical install)... freezes Tested in SuSE10.1 install-kernel failsafe ... freezes Tested disabling front-usb and rear-usb-1 while connected to rear-usb-0 ... freezes Trying different 32 and 64 kernels did not work Trying a lot of kernel bootup parameters, in a lot of combinations, did not work Trying other distro's did not work Trying physical changes did not work Trying bios changes did not work Trying external (powered) non-Dell usb hub did not work Only a kernel fix to workaround buggy hardware (nForce430) seems to be left (?) Walter, what are your experiences with the pci32 usb card? What is it with these Dell Dimension E521's that no-one can run a working Linux without adding extra hardware that's already there, and that's designed to work with open standard instruction interfaces. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

OH and its been 24 hours using my usb hub on my monitor and no mouse lock up.....i called dell and one the the techs told me it was a linux problem. he did seem to know what he was talking about. he told me that it has to do with the way linux handles power when the processor uses more power linux does not always supply enough to the usb and it stops the usb ports it and when it puts power back to the usb most devices do not have a problem with it but for some reason mice do. he said the best way to fix that is use a POWERED usb hub that you plug into the wall for power. that way it has enough power at all times. i have not tried this because mine works but atleast dell knows about it. --- The power issue is something I thought of two weeks ago and tested it with a SafeWay powered hub. In my case it still didn't work, but it seemed to become a bit better. But this safeway hub is a little 'strange'. When connected to power it doesn't power-up. When connected to root-hub (host) it powers-up with a clicking relay, but it -needs- the power adapter so it really seems to use external power. Could it be that power-handling to the mouse (and keyboard, I tested both on the hub, but also separate) isn't very good in this hub, although it seems to work correct? If Dell told the truth, can the Linux kernel be patched, so that power handling never failes to the onboard usb-interface, just like WinXP does? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214247 ------- Comment #17 from j.keet@wandromeda.demon.nl 2006-11-06 14:39 MST ------- Succes story :-) ! I seem to have found a very nice workaround, for the first time I've faith again ;-) I wrote the 'whole story' on the Ubuntu forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279626&page=5 (jorden) But I've copied the text here also: ---- Maybe good news (succes story): NRios, first; I agree with you. Dell and the e521 pissed me off. I told I would sell the e521, and still have it for-sale right now. But.. I also kept trying and at this moment I use an internal usb-hub from SWEEX with a black front-panel. External powered hubs didn't work for me but their power management is a little different. This sweex was cheap and also saves a pci32 slot. Until now... no freezes! I hope it keeps this way. In my opinion the Dell-cpu-usb-power-story is not that strange as you might think. Yes, also on my systems the mouse (and sometimes keyb) freezed constantly no-matter if there was cpu-usage, but internally and on very small time-scales things can be a little different. I know that because of the old nForce2 80ns bug, which causes nForce2 systems to randomly lockup with usage of acpi via io-apic. A complex story about acpi and how it works on hardware level and the to-be-honoured protocols of usage (kernel). On nForce2 the problem was that linux kernels do switch power-things faster than 80ns, something Windows kernels still don't. So nForce2 never had problems in Windoze, but in Linux it was unusable until you enirely disable acpi, apic and lapic support in the kernel. The story is much longer than this, but what I want to say is that strange power issues could be possible. But I agree, it's strange and stupid. The nForce2 workarounds do not work here, only on Dell E521's this occurs, and Dell doesn't do anything to fix their 'linux machines'. This SWEEX hub uses the internal floppy-power which is very stable of course, doesn't do complex power-tricks with relays but is always hard-and-simple-powered to the power supply, and maybe better: I discovered that in some sophisticated way my mouse and keyb are kernel enabled via ehci instead of ohci(!) In the boot.msg log I can see that it discovers an usb2.0 hub device, with 'low-speed' devices connected to it. The ehci module gets loaded and I believe that it strangely enough uses this interface (but I must ivestigate better). Formerly it never loaded ehci as far as I can remember (I never connected usb2 devices and only saw ohci loaded all the times). Looks like the sweex acts as some clever gateway device(?)

(While I'm typing the mouse still works, and that has never happened before on my system, also using standard SuSE10.1 kernel, no extra options, or in other words I'm back at Start but this time without mouse freezes so far ) The sweex hub I use can be seen here: http://www.sweex.nl/communicatie.php?sectie=3&item=460&artikel=676 I hope you guys can smile again. It's not the -best- solution (kernel patch or bios fix would be better), but at least it saves your pci32 slots it's black, cheap, and it seems to work so far (I'll keep you informed). ---- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In addition to the kbd and mouse, I've noticed the following on the NForce 430 USB ports: * other devices such as scanners don't work - I have a Umax Astra 4400 which I access from VMWare, and it would start to scan and hang. On the PCI Card it works fine. * printers work fine - I haven't been able to generate a printing problem with my usb inkjet on the NForce ports. * USB thumb drives, cameras, external hard drives all seem to work fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214247 ------- Comment #22 from moorewr@eckerd.edu 2007-01-05 06:47 MST ------- It appears that Dell's BIOS update has resolved this problem. I updated to 1.1.4 and have not had a mouse or keyboard lockup since then with the original 10.1 32-bit kernel or the most recent update.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214247 ------- Comment #23 from j.keet@wandromeda.demon.nl 2007-01-07 14:25 MST ------- It seems that you are right Walter. I used the E521 for weeks without trouble with the sweex internal usb hub, but I also downloaded the 1.1.4 bios update and it seems to work. Using and testing it for hours and no problems. There is a little difference compared to the sweex hub. When I use my Logitech Quickcam Express usb cam it complains about bandwidth and seems to throttle things, but all keeps running. Also keyboard and mouse use ohci on the internal usb interface while they are gatewayed to ehci via the sweex hub. The ehci kernel code still runs a lot better i.m.h.o. But this bios upgrade is a -must- ;-) B.t.w. I didn't need to change anything on my highly customized suse 10.1 system. The bios upgrade just made the difference between not-working and working. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
