Hi,

I'm just bought an USB 2.0 PCI adapter for my (rather old) Copaq Proliant 1600 (P08) server to get my USB ADSL modem working on it. So far, I didn't succeed at doing this, therefore my post.

Here an extract of the bootprocess using dmesg:

As you can see, there is something wrong with the assignment of one of the USB devices. I tried to fix this using the SmartStart CD, but the BIOS of the server is the weirdest one I ever encountered, so no real luck there. (I'm not used to working with the .CFG files there).
