fatal error with usb controller on nforce2
Hi folks I have the mainboard AU13 with NForce2 chipset, installed suse pro 8.2 with latest kernel from suse's update site. My keyboard and mouse are both USB interface, which made me very frustrated. At first when installing the computer hangs as soon as starting hardware probing, so I borrowed a PS2 keyboard and disabled USB controller in BIOS to install it. But when I reenabled USB, it still booted without probing USB device. so I after I added the line "alias usb-interface usb-ohci" in /etc/modules.conf, everytime I "modprobe usb-ohci", the system hangs and even keyboard did not work. The USB keyboard cannot even work in grub that I cannot choose to boot windows with this keyboard. I am really frustrated with this problem, any hint would be appreciated. Cheers Liu

Try disabling acpi. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add "acpi=off" to the "kernel" line. Reboot and see if that works. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE++d60+FOexA3koIgRAoWTAJ9k/weTJpzpSwQ8KVHkeepCmJohTwCePiKQ lbW/v9P1e23fc1VNz/OgwyQ= =TZkM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
thanks, now modprobe usb-ohci works. but how to make the system auto detect my keyboard and mouse at startup? Why it is a must to disable acpi to get usb work?

============= Wen Liu Because some motherboards have faulty or nonstandard acpi implementation built into the bios/chipset. Pat -- --- KMail v1.5.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
