I just tried 2.6.8rc2, and the problem is still there. The workaround many people have is to turn off USB legacy support in their BIOS. On my Tyan 2665 motherboard there is no BIOS option to do this. If I turn off USB support completely in the BIOS my machine runs OK, but then...... well, I want USB working :-) With a non-SMP kernel I do not have any problems. Is this problem being actively addressed by anyone, or is the "turn off legacy support" workaround considered an adequate fix? Regards, Steve
