2.5.64p5 No USB support when APIC mode enabled

Hi,

I got some problems with USB (in my case the mouse).
If I enable "APIC" in the BIOS of the motherboard,
usb failed to "accept" my USB device.

It constantly prints on the console (and log file):

Mar 7 08:14:33 solfire kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
Mar 7 08:14:33 solfire kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 (error=-110)
Mar 7 08:14:39 solfire kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
Mar 7 08:14:39 solfire kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=5 (error=-110)
Mar 7 08:14:44 solfire kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
Mar 7 08:14:44 solfire kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=6 (error=-110)

the address is constantly increased...printing does not stop, I hat
to rmmod uhci for that.

The mouse was not recognized.

The failure seems to arise before the mouse is recognized as such.

I cannot decide, whether it is a problem of the motherboard or a
linux kernel thingy...

My system:
Linux 2.4.21rc5
EPoX 8K5A3+ (VIA KT333) motherboard
Athlon XP 2400+
DDR RAM 256 MB (Samsung)
USB Mouse
USB Cardreader

I have enabled in the linux config:
CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
CONFIG_APM=m
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y

CONFIG_USB=m
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI=m
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m
CONFIG_USB_OHCI=m
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_KBD=m
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m

What did I wrong ?

Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards,
