Description Jan Falkowski 2006-06-17 14:00:26 UTC

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.12
Distribution: Gentoo
Hardware Environment: AMD Athlon XP, Abit NF7-S (nforce 2) motherboard, a
no-name 4-in-1 card reader - lsusb -v gives:

Problem Description:
The green LED (indicating something like power-on state of the reader, but it
turns on at system startup and not during POST) at the front doesn't stop
shining after shutdown, although it does on shutdown of linux 2.6.12 and older
(about a second or two before complete poweroff) and windows. The motherboard
doesn't allow to turn off the power of the onboard USB header, which the reader
is connected to. I've tried to compile with usb and scsi stuff as modules, but
still no effect. I've also tried the kororaa livecd, as far as I remember based
on kernel version 2.6.13 or 2.6.14, and the effect was exactly the same.

This looks like a duplicate of bug #5276.  It probably is caused by changes in
the way the system turns off main power when it shuts down and has nothing to do
with the USB drivers.
