Odd enough, sometimes this happens when the notebook is plugged in, and as of yet failed every time to boot as soon as it runs on battery. Steps to reproduce:
Created attachment 6893 [details] Kernel config for 2.6.15-rc5 where this bug occurs
This updated DSDT http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?id=528 SOLVES THE PROBLEM!!
well, should... I still have bios 206 and further tests tell me it's not enough (ehci still crashes). I'll try the new bios and report back.
Marking closed.
why did you close the bug? It's still unsolved! I tried upgrading bios but sadly it didn't solve the problem. I tried 2.6.12 and it seems not to crash. I booted at least 4 or 5 times, from battery, without problems.
Sorry, I saw comment #2 and thought it was fixed.
someone reported me that completely disabling ACPI from kernel makes the pc boot fine and correctly load the ehci module. This guy in Gentoo forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-414765-highlight-a6k.html said he solved the problem by fixing the dsdt. Sadly I can't contact him.
Sounds like an acpi issue, reassigning...
This might be fixed in 2.6.16-rc4. Can you test that out and let us know?
You can bet I will, as soon as it get available! :-)
I've installed the kernel yesterday, and IT SEEMS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! I tried warm and cold boot, from battery and AC, and every time it loaded the ehci module correctly without crashing. I will do further tests today and tomorrow, and will report back again! So far, THANK YOU A LOT!
I've been using the new kernel for some time right now. I've done cold and warm boots, with and without AC, and the module was loaded every time without crashing. I've also attached an USB2 device, and worked fine. To me, the thing is solved, THANK YOU AGAIN! I got negative response from a french friend using an ASUS A6Km still concerning ACPI/EHCI, but I don't know if it's strictly related to this bug. I also wrote a mail to two other friends who experienced the kernel hang, but I still have to get a reply from them. I will post here any other news.
On A6Km / AC connected - when booting with usb mouse pluged-in kernel hangs just after infomartion about processor type. When nothing is connected to usb everything works fine ( battery status, processor stepting, acpi thermal shows correct temperature ) and after full system boot when i connect usb mouse it works without any problems...
it hangs on evxfevnt ( evxfevnt-0091 )
Ok, closing as fixed, as the original bios fix is in the kernel tree. If you still have other problems, please open them as new bugs.
