[ This is just a rehash of the usb part of bug #10 so people not interested in the networking part can follow this bug. While bug #10 form may have been good for linux-kernel, compound bugs are really not a good bugzilla practice ] Exact Kernel version: 2.5.46-bk2 + about a dozen 2.5/2.5-ac kernels I've tried in the 2.5.44-2.5.47 range Distribution: Red Hat Rawhide Hardware Environment: - Gigabyte GA -7VAX http://www.giga-byte.com/products/7vax.htm (Via KT 400) - a bunch of usb1 devices plugged on an external usb2 nec hub Problem Description: building a kernel with local apic (with and without io-apic) kills usb at startup. The rest of the hardware initialization is fine. Seems a *lot* of people are bitten by this bug. See bug #10 for more info.
This is a ACPI problem with the interrupt routing, not a USB problem. So it really is the same as bug 10 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10 ***
Severity -> low since bug #10 is fixed and this was a workarounf scenario
