Hi,

I just bought a 4-port USB 2.0 controller with the intent to plug it in
the PCI bus of my Ultra 5.  Unfortunately, once it's plugged in, the
machine doesn't even reach the OBP prompt and the screen remains off.

The controller is nameless (the card reads "CK-0001C", though), with a
VIA VT6212L chipset.

Does anyone have an idea how to diagnose the problem?  Did anyone
succeed with this or another USB controller in an Ultra?

I have ;-) But you have to verify that your card is PCI 2.1 compliant, not 2.2. I have a Belkin adapter in my U60 and it works without any trouble.

How does one do that?
