kernel-2.6.0-test9 & USB 2.0 Question
I purchased aSony USB DVD+R+RW and succesfully played a dvd movie but in
spurts using an old system with only usb 1.0.
Next I upgraded the system with an Albatron KX400-8XV motherboard and an
Athlon XP 2000+ cpu. Same result. My 2.4.22 kernel doesn't support USB
2.0.
Downloaded kernel-source-2.6.0-test9 and built a new kernel with ehci
support and uhci and ohci as modules. The system boots up ok but
streams messages to the first console that my usb devices (Epson printer
and Sony DVD+R+RW) are not responding. If I disconnect them the stream
of messages stops and less /proc/bus/usb/devices reports the ehci
controller.
Questions:
1. Is the problem with the kernel-2.6.0-test9 and I should wait for the
next patch
or
have I missed something which must be included in the new kernel
or
is the USB 2.0 support in the Albatron motherboard non-standard and
not supported?
2. I have been in the habit of unpacking each new kernel-source in
/usr/src and then moving it to /usr/src/linux after moving the previous
kernel-source to /usr/src/linux-2.4.XX. I know the README file has
always advised against this but at one time I read that this advice was
outdated and /usr/src/linux is the preferred location. The README in
the kernel-source-2.6.0-test9 warns that using /usr/src/linux will
overwrite some needed headers. What is the best practice?
