Bug#291348: kernel-image-2.6.8: SiS USB 1.0 Controller Fails in Bulk Transport with, 2.6.8, fixed in 2.6.10
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386
Version: 2.6.8-10
Severity: critical
File: kernel-image-2.6.8
Justification: breaks unrelated software
The USB controller on my board doesn't work with 2.6.8 but does with
2.6.10. I've called this critical but you may only consider it grave
sicne not too many people depend on usb drives to boot, so it's 'only'
usb device use that breaks. However, all or at least most usb devices
will not work with the board (see below) which is some pretty major
functionality.
The computer has a PCChips M599LMR motherboard with built-in SiS USB 1.0
Controller. The failure (according the Theodore Kilgore, the libgphoto2
driver maintainer for sq905 devices) is in bulk transport messages from
usb devices. This renders my scanner and camera unusable under 2.6.8.
2.4.27 and 2.6.10 both work, however. (The upstream kernel people are
aware of this problem, and have fixed it in 2.6.10).
