ehci-hcd.o still a problem kernels > 2.4.20?

[Frank Jacobberger]

I'm noticing the following in kernels > 2.4.20:

I'm getting an odd error when kernel boots that the ehci-hcd.o.gz can't 
load..

or if doing an insmod ehci-hcd I get:

insmod ehci-hcd
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-2.5/kernel/drivers/usb/hcd/ehci-hcd.o.gz
/lib/modules/2.4.20-2.5/kernel/drivers/usb/hcd/ehci-hcd.o.gz: 
init_module: No such device

Dmesg and everything else points to it loading:

hcd.c: ehci-hcd @ 00:1d.7, Intel Corp. 82801DB USB EHCI Controller

and:

Doing an lspci bears this out:

00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB EHCI Controller (rev 02)

No idea why the kernel is balking at boot and not logging this to kernel 
messages!

Any more ideas on a good fix for this?

Anyone interested can chime in on RH bugzilla #79210

Thanks,

Frank

You need to be using this patch if you have Intel hardware,
and users with VIA hardware will be significantly happier:

It was also posted to linux-usb-users, and is in the queue
of fixes I hope will be merged into the next 2.4.21pre patch.
I got a fair amount of feedback from folk using this patch;
as expected, it's better all around.
