Thanks. Hello together, during the last 1.5 weeks I have lost a lot of hair over following . BACKGROUND: I have a FIC 2012 mainboard with uses the VIA VT82C597 chipset. Attached to the usb port is a usb memory pen drive which serves as the root device. PROBLEM: USB produces gets bulk transfer message timeouts for earlier kernels ~2.4.6. Or inconsistent links (looses link after some time) for newer kernels ~2.6.7 (messages similar to "refusing I/O to device being removed" or "refusing I/O to dead device"). I have tried kernels until 2.6.9-rc2 (could not get to run at all). After lots of research I realized that usb problems with via seem to be a very common problem but could not find anything definitive. Can anybody tell me whether this chipset works with any kernel - and if yes with which? I guess I have to use a different mainboard!? Thank you very much in advace!
