Subject: [PATCH] x445 usb legacy fix
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 18:21:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1090286508.1388.434.camel@cog.beaverton.ibm.com> (raw)
Greg, All,
Apparently there is an issue w/ the IBM x440/x445's BIOS's USB Legacy
support. Due to the delay in issuing SMI's across the IOAPICs, its
possible for I/O to ports 60/64 to cause register corruption.
The solution is to disable the BIOS's USB Legacy support early in boot
(via PCI quirks) for x440/x445 systems.
This is the same method posted to lkml here (Originally written by
Vojtech): http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0405.3/1712.html
(Use the following link for the raw mbox email)
http://lkml.org/lkml/mbox/2004/5/31/97
While Greg was cautious that this method couldn't always be used, I've
created a patch that applies on top of Vojtech's that creates a boot
option which allows you to specify "no-usb-legacy". Additionally this
patch enables the "no-usb-legacy" option by default for x440/x445
systems.
Please consider for inclusion (along with the patch linked to above)
into your tree.
thanks
