Subject: Plugging in usb pen-drive disables keyboard
Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2004 22:24:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6852170404122714244e142800@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

If this is off-topic or the wrong place for this sort of question,
please just let me know.  Thanks!

I'm running Gentoo, recently upgraded to the 2.6 kernel (2.6.9-r6,
right now) and udev, and almost everything is working perfectly.

Here's the one issue I'm trying to figure out: If I plug my usb pen
drive into a usb port in the rear of the PC (essentially, straight
into the motherboard) it works fine -- but if I plug it in to one of
the two usb ports in the front of the case, it is not detected (at
least, I can see no detection with dmesg or by checking
/var/log/messages) and my keyboard is immediately disabled.  As soon
as the usb drive is unplugged, any characters typed while it was
plugged in will appear on the command-line.

I'm not a kernel hacker, but I'm not a complete newbie, either.  Any
suggestions as to where I should start are welcome.  And again, if I'm
asking the question in the wrong place, my apologies.

Thanks in advance!
Phil Crissman
