USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

big_smile  smile Gents;

   Cannot get USB ehci-hcd to enable USB2.0 in the subject kernel.

   I probably have missing modprobe.conf entries or some such.

   I get 6MB/s transfer speed from the usb-storage device, a 2.0 ported USB compatuble hdd.


   What  am I missing?

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

Hi

I have had the same problem so at the moment i can only use ohci_hcd module

ehci_hcd as far I know is experiment....

In KDE u can use info-center...USB devices....or pacman -S usbview to check if anything is being detected...

Unless anyone know different  wink

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

Not to belabor the obvious, but is the ehci service compiled-in your kernel or loaded as a module?

I am using the 2.6.3 kernel with ehci_hcd compiled-in and had  trouble with an Adaptec USB 2Connect Cardbus. The problem was an IRQ conflict "caused" by ACPI. dmesg suggested the kernel boot parameter pci=noacpi. That worked.

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

Hi

Yes checked dmesg & echi_hcd is built into kernel 2.6.3.(& later versions of 2.4)..& yes pci=acpi or acpi=off are in there too....when you say kernel boot ...are you talking about lilo?

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

big_smile  smile Gents;

    Thanks for the replies.  I have yet to try the acpi entry at boot time, but will do so.  (That is what was referred to at kernel boot)

    The ehci-hcd appears in dmesg here so it is a kernel loaded item.

    However, I do not find any drivers in /proc/bus/usb, just the devices are listed and ehci-hcd does not show whereas uhci-hcd is present.
    In /root/dev there is one listing....hid... no listing for usb-storage or other device.

    Googling reveals general statements about the chips on the mobo(built in USB) as well as pci cards using the Via6202 chip.  My mobo has that chip.  The general statements give no particulars about the difficulties encountered with that chip so it seems useless to google for info.

   I have gone a step further..I installed a USB card in a pci slot(USB 2.0) made by orange micro.  I assume(!!!!) it needs no special programming to operate and it does run the storage device at 6MB/s .

   So I must conclude that the ehci-hcd interface is not implemented in kernel26, however, the acpi part of the picture has been noted in googling.

   That seems to be the larger picture on this subject and the indications are that ehci is indeed experimental.

   I read that Linus Torvalds stated that USB was installed in the 2.6 kernel.  It seems he didn't mean(generality again) all usb formats.

   I will try the acpi idea but don't expect it to work.

   Please advise the proper format for the boot parameter to be entered.

    Thanks!!!

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

     At boot= linux 2.6.3 pci=noacpi

    The USB transfer rate was not improved...

    Is the entry done correctly?

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

big_smile  smile Additional info:

    The lsmod listing shows ohci-hcd in use and that is for the USB keyboard and mouse.

   It also lists usb-storage as in use(= 1).

   There is no indication there as to what usb mode usb-storage is in.

     I suspect that the kernel program assigns the usb-storage to ohci-hcd by default or// that the inter-translation from ohci-hcd to ehci-hcd has not been implemented in the kernel program(barring any usb entries missing in my system packages).

    My keyboard has much faster reesponsse than is normal as is demonstrated in this line of type.!

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

Perhaps I used the wrong terminology or was pedantic. boot parameters = kernel boot parameters. They can be implemented in either GRUB or lilo, but, of course, the syntax is slightly different. pci=noacpi is correct for GRUB. My boot parameters are:

root=/dev/hda8 vga=0x318 pci=noacpi apm=power-off

Out of curiosity, why do you have the ro? I have never used it.

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

big_smile  smile Gents;

   A thought occurred to me regarding the usb-adapter in USB 2.0.

   My present fstab has a listing of /dev/sda1  /mnt/fat1  vfat defaults 0  0.

  Examining the /proc files I find it listed .....    usb-storage... as scsi device.

   Perhaps I need to remove this assignment so that the usbfs can determine its connection?   But then, where would it mount?

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

big_smile  smile 

   My last bleating.  .../proc/scsi...lists usb-storage...

   So maybe   /dev/proc/scsi     /mnt/fat1  vfat  defaults   0   0    ?????

   This depends on having the scsi ID  assigned w/o the /dev/sda1 listing I would guess.

   How does ehci tie into usb-storage if it(usb-storage) is assigned to /proc/scsi and not to usbfs?

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

   There is one further possibility..assign the ehci tie in for USB2.0 to the /proc/scsi file while keeping the fstab as it now is for /dev/sda1.

  Dunno how to do that excellent idea!!!!!

   Examined /proc/filesystems file and found .....nodev  usbfs
                                                                   .... nodev usbdevfs

   I interpret this to mean there are no devices assigned to either of those filesystems which means no USB 2.0.....

    This of course part of a compile of the 2.6 kernel which I am not  in great favor of doing.  The usb devices available (of all persuasions) make the USB problem extremely complex.

   I think the above detail indicates (without having enough smarts to back it up!) that the proc bus usb system may not handle the latest and greatest 2.0 devices.  However, because I am not a guru, I can make that statement without fear of losing status lol


  I would appreciate comments concerning implementation of 2.0 USB especially those which make the search fruitful.  My vendor of USB HDD says he has no linux drivers due to the multitude of linux distros, and I am sure I knew that anyway.

  I have googled as directed by many and have come up empty.  A re-do of the kernel in USB 2.0 involves too many interfaces for me to handle.

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

big_smile  smile
   More info.  Used ...usbview to inspect the usb tree and found that ehci and usb-storage were not  "in use" during a transfer from the hdd.  This indicates that the USB setup is independent of the usb-storage device as presently  programmed.

  The device connected to the USB keybd and the USB Mouse both showed activity.

  I conclude the ehci device is not able to communicate with the usb-storage device under the present layout.

  What change is needed???

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

big_smile  smile    More garbage;

     Entered......modprobe -l |grep usb

     Listing showed: / lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko

    No listing concerned with ehci.
   
    The data indicates that usb-storage is controlled by other than ehci hub.


     What do I do to change that?


Prediction...This year will be a very odd year!

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

    My pci card has four port 2.0 from Orange Micro and I am informed it has an NEC chipset.

   As posted, my Mobo has a Via6202 chipset which has some issues in USB.

Re: USB 2.0 problem in kernel 2.6.3

   Performed a "tail" test to check the usb-storage device when connected to USB port.


   Result:[root@n6re root]# tail -f /var/log/messages
Feb 27 12:51:34 n6re syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 27 12:51:40 n6re init: Entering runlevel: 3
Feb 27 12:51:40 n6re inetd[134]: Online and ready (0 sockets)
Feb 27 16:24:05 n6re init: Switching to runlevel: 6
Feb 27 16:24:12 n6re exiting on signal 15

    This output was displayed immediately after "enter" command.  The usb hdd device was then inserted into 2.0 port and nothing was added to the above message.  This indicates it is not recognized.

   Will test /var/log/messages during activity on the USB bus from the hdd.

   CUL
