Hi,

I have probelms with USB 2.0 under Redhat 9 kernel 2.4.20-28.9.

ehci-hcd fails to load during boot - see msg below

/lib/modules/2.4.20-28.9/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

I have googled around and saw some stuff about setting pci=biosirq but this doesnt make any difference. I had the same problem with the out-of-the-box rh 9 2.4.20-8

Any useful advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks !
Simon

So what kind of hardware do you have? Motherboard, chipset etc

michaelk,

its an SIS 646 chipset, moderm 2.4GHz laptop (unbranded) Here the dmesg output (sorry its a lot)

Would appreciate any assistance / light you can shed on this . If I dont get it fixed I plan to go to 2.6

Cheers

Not sure what this is error is refering to.

Are you sure you have USB 2.0?
Does the command
lspci
indicate a USB 2.0 device.
