usb 2.0 hdd working through usb 2.0 pcmcia card full speed in 2.4, but slow in 2.6


I'm using Arch linux with kernels 2.6.9-ARCH (supposedly vanilla) and 2.4.28 (vanilla). I have a usb2.0 ext hdd and a usb2.0 pcmcia card for my old dell c500. Hotplug is disabled. If I boot 2.4, the only modules loaded are usb-storage and scsi_mod; then I mount the hdd (mount -t vfat /dev/sda5 /mnt/usb), and it works at full speed (480 mbs). However, if I boot 2.6, I have to load ehci-hcd, uhci-hcd, and ohci-hcd, and usb-storage to mount it, but the transfer speed is only 12mbs, noticably slower than using 2.4.

Using knoppix 3.7, I get the same results, although the kernel versions aren't identical.
Here's my lspci:
Code:

06:00.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04)
There's a fatal error in my dmesg when I use 2.6:
Code:
ehci_hcd 0000:06:00.2: NEC Corporation USB 2.0
ehci_hcd 0000:06:00.2: irq 11, pci mem c8970000

ehci_hcd 0000:06:00.2: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2004-May-10
ehci_hcd 0000:06:00.2: fatal error
ehci_hcd 0000:06:00.2: HC died; cleaning up
Any ideas? I know ehci-hcd is experimental, but why is it working with 2.4 instead of 2.6? Thanks for any help...

I have the same problem with my usb 2.0 pendrive and ext hdd.
I tried kernel 2.6.8.1, 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 (I'm using this now).

The problem seem to be that when I connect the device the ehci-hcd module pass the control of the device at the ohci-hcd module.
With the "usbtree" script you can see this.
The script is in the page http://www.linux-usb.org/usb2.html at the url http://www.linux-usb.org/usbtree

Normally the modules ohci-hcd and ehci-hcd are loaded.
I'll try with "rmmod ohci-hcd", my usb mouse stop to work but all my usb 2.0 device work at high speed (480 Mb/s).

I don't know how force the correct speed, bus, or anything else.
I'm doing other tries, I'll post you the result soon as possible.


Bye.


P.S.: Sorry for my english.

workaround

I tried the newest kernels, too, but I eventually figured our that anything older than 2.6.6 works. So, I compiled 2.6.5, and everything was good. No more ehci errors or anything. Then, I replaced my usb 2.0 pcmcia with another that I knew was Linux compatible (and cheaper!), and it works with any kernel. so, the card was a problem, but it could be resolved by using an older 2.6 kernel.

You could try out this Workaround:

I had the same Problem with a ALI usb2 controller. The above Patch fixed the Problem for me.

I've made others test, and now I can say that my problem is different.

I don't have any error in dmesg, but all my usb 2.0 devices works in full speed mode (12 Mbit/s) and not in high speed mode (480 Mbit/s).
In Windows XP they work in high speed without problem.

After the chilly_willy2's suggestion and this post (http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-us.../msg11419.html) i'll try the kernel 2.6.5, but my problem remain.

Any suggestions are very welcome.

If I read the usbtree-output correctly, you are using a USB-Hub. Does the Problem also exist, if you connect your Harddisk directly? Or in other words: Are you shure your Hub is a USB2.0 Hub?

This is not correct, I don't have any USB-Hub.
I think usbtree call "hub" the USB controller on the mainboard.

My notebook has 4 USB 2.0 ports, and I use one of them (i have just test all of them).

In Windows XP I can connect the USB Pendrive or the external hdd in any of the USB ports,
and they work in high speed.
In Linux they always work ok, but in full speed and without show any error.

The only way to use the high speed is to remove the ohci_hcd module with rmmod.
In this case all the devices work in high speed,
but the USB 1.1 devices (like the mouse) don't work.

Can it be a linux bug with the ATI IXP chipset ?

At the moment I don't have any other ideas...

Hmm, really sounds like a bug to me. I'm not a linux developer, so I can't say wether the bug might be in the chipset or in the kernel.

It seems, your ohci-controller grabs every device that supports USB1.1 (that includes the USB2 ones) and the ehci-controller doesn't get them any more

It works !!!

I made it.

I don't know why it works, but it works !!!
I put this 4 lines in my rc.local:
Code:
rmmod ohci_hcd
rmmod ehci_hcd
modprobe ehci_hcd
modprobe ohci_hcd
This is a very simple and stupid solution, but now everything is fine.
It's like the usb modules were loaded in bad order.
Where can I indicate the modules' loading order ?
I searched within all the scripts in /etc/rc.d but I didn't find anything.

Another question.
Who loads the usb modules ? The kernel ? A script ?
I think the kernel is the right answer, but so, where is the error/bug ? In the kernel ? In Slackware ?

I don't know, but for the moment I'm very happy.

Thanks for help to everybody.

I think it would be a good Idea to post your Problem and your Workaround at linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
That seems to be the usb subsystem developers' mailinglist.

When the linuxkernel detects new hardware, it calls a userspaceprogramm (usually hotplug, but there are othewr programms too) which loads the correct Module for the new device.
So loading modules is done by hotplug, but the loading order of the modules is determined by the hardware detection in the kernel.
There usually also is a file to add additional modules, that are not automatically loaded, but the name of this file differs between distirbutions. I don't know wether these additional Modules are loaded before or after the automatically detected ones.

hi, I hv the same problem with an ati ixp chipset (toshiba a75-s229). on the 2.4.31 kernel (slack 10.2) the speed of my pendrive (dane-elec 1gb) was about 700KB/s!!!! When I updated it to 2.6.13 it downs to 90KB/s. so I did what you said rmmod .... and the speed ups to 230KB/s
My friend has a kingston pendrive with 1gb and the speed when I do that goes to 1000KB/s It sux... I'm getting very angry with this pendrive, but the chipset also has a problem...
Someone knows a module for my dane-elec pen? or why this low speed?

Any idea why there is such a huge difference between kernels? Every time I do a kernel update, the speed of my USB file transfer changes (and not always for the better, I might add). It seems like you shouldn't have to do a "workaround" for every update, since updated kernels are supposedly fixing bugs like this one.
