Where is my USB2 slot !!!!!


Hi, im using gentoo, with a kernel i compiled myself.

my motherbard has 2 usb 1.1 hubs, and 1 usb2 hub.

here is my kernel configas far as usb (and usb mass storeage is concerneed

Code:
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH=y

CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=y
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y

CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
and here is some pci info..

Code:
0000:00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK8S USB Controller (rev a1) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
        Subsystem: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0c11
        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5
        Memory at fdfff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

0000:00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK8S USB Controller (rev a1) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
        Subsystem: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0c11
        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        Memory at fdffe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

0000:00:02.2 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK8S USB Controller (rev a2) (prog-if 20 [EHCI])
        Subsystem: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0c11
        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5
        Memory at fdffd000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
        Capabilities: [44] #0a [2098]
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2
from what i understand, EHCI is usb version 2.0, and OCHI is usb 1.1.

(my motherboard manual says i have usb version 1.1 and 2.)

I have 4 USB slots on the back on my computer (built onto motherbard, and two slots in the front of the case, connected to pins on the motherboard,

nomatter which of the 6 USB slots that i slot my usb2 mass storeage mp3 player into, KDE info ALWAYS says its plugged into one of my OCHI usb 1.1 slots.

the device is definatly usb2,

so... WHERE is my usb2 slot !!????

is it possable that i have not compiled a correct usb2 component, and as a result its fallig back onto usb 1 ????

it seems i have usb decices sockets 2-1, 2-2, 2-4, 3-1, 3-2 and 3-4. (all 6 of them) and my usb 2 is hub 1-*

this is driving me mad, please give me some clues

EDIT:
i have also tried this with windowsXP.
windowsXP detects new hardware USB2, and asks for the install disk,
it sucessfully installs the nvidi usb2 driver that comes with my motherboard, and a new usb2 section apreas in the device manager.

however again, nomatter where i plug my mp3 player, windows detects that it is connected to a usb1 socket (and the device is Definatly a usb2 mp3 player)

so what sould be cauing this ?

i have a Chaintech VNF3-250 motherboard, with an nForce-3 chipset.

Maybe a BIOS issue?

According to the website for Chaintech, the MOBO is supposed to have six USB 2.0 ports.

the possable bios settings for USB are... Off, 1.1 only, 1.1 + 2.0.

That page is just a summery, the exact details are in the motherboard instruction manual.

3USB hubs, 4 usb sockets built onto motherboard, and 4 usb pins for usb built inot the case.

i have tried updatubg the bios, their are no bugs reported, nothing on google..

does anyone else have any idea's ?
