That is most probably something in your bios. My Epox 4PCA3+ (also i875
chipset) says:

This is also what I see (on my Asus P4P800) more or less:

ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1d.7[D] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB2 EHCI Controller
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: BIOS handoff failed (104, 1010001)
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: can't reset
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: init 0000:00:1d.7 fail, -95
ehci_hcd: probe of 0000:00:1d.7 failed with error -95

The funny thing is, it has happened with various kernel snapshots
(right term for the 2.6.7-bk??-patches?) but not all.
I thought I had one (2.6.7-bk17) which didn't give this response,
but now it does, and I suspect the problem is really something else.
(Some automatic irq assignment to usb-hardware?)

I'm not into kernel source hacking so I can't really say much more.

Then it's in mine also.

J.O.


PS. uname -a gives this:
Linux bombadil 2.6.8-rc2 #1 SMP Sun Jul 18 09:08:22 CEST 2004 i686 unknown
and I compiled the kernel with gcc 3.4.0.

I didn't change any BIOS settings lately and newer BIOS versions stop
booting stops after initializing ACPI..:-(. 2.6.5 works as a charm.

I have a P4C800-E (DLX) as well, but it is working fine.
The big differences I see is:
1) You have the 3Com network device where I have the E1000
   (I thought all P4C800-E have E1000, where the smaller ones,
    P4C800, P4C800-DLX have 3Com ??)
2) I use Interrupt Vectors, where you seem not to?

I am on bios 1016 (latest stable for P4C800-E DLX, while I
see there is a 1017 beta 002).

Not sure if you want my .config to compare?

Your line numbers do not match in any way with my copy of 2.6.8-rc2.

Do you have any additional patches applied?

If not, please do a compile from a fresh tree.

I've had similar problems several times when I started with the .bz2 
archives, and often a nukeing and re-unpacking fixed it.  I've not 
had any such problems since I began dl'ing only the .gz files.  
Methinks bzip2 still has the potential to get the hiccups from time 
to time on certain data sequences.

As I said in previous mail, my p4c800-e dlx works fine:

--- 
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1d.7[D] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 193

You using the latest bios version?  Maybe check if there is a beta
bios available ?

I saw somebody said newer bios versions do not work (Locks after
ACPI init).  I am not sure if this is related, but for our boards
you do not want ISAPNP or PNPBIOS, just ACPI (it used to oops at
some stage - either after ACPI init or PNP init), and I did enable
CONFIG_PNP ...

---
# grep PNP .config
CONFIG_PNP=y
# CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_ISAPNP is not set
# CONFIG_PNPBIOS is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPNP is not set
# CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set

This was previously discussed as the subject "proper bios handoff in 
ehci-hcd".  Basically it's a broken bios, and David Brownell has a fix for 
it that hasn't made it into the kernel yet.

Changing the "return 1" at line 308 in drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c" to a 
"return 0" works for me until the patch makes it into the tree.
