Fwd: Re: PROBLEM: USB 1.1 (and up) not working on AMD R900 Series chipset

[Oliver Schinagl <oliver@schinagl.nl>]

Hi list,

On the linux-usb mailinglist Greg said that I may have an ACPI interrupt 
routing issue and should try linux-acpi.

I've created a bugzilla entry[1] with all required files I think are needed?

I'll try to extract the dsdt later and see if it has any compiler bugs 
and attach that later to the mentioned bug report. Also I will try 
acpi=noirq and see if that enables basic IRQ/USB support. In the 
meantime, anybody have any other thoughts as to what I can try?

Thanks,

Oliver

This really looks like an interrupt routing issue for your hardware and
a 64bit kernel.  Nothing the USB developers can do about this, sorry.

Try contacting the acpi developers by filing a bug at
bugzilla.kernel.org and they can work on this.
