Description Adrian Bassett 2013-02-21 15:24:24 UTC

Linux 3.8 makes ehci-pci a separate usb host driver.  

As a result, it should be included in the initramfs if built as a module.  The attachment provides a diff -u patch for the relevant genkernel modules_load file for the x86 and x86_64 arches.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the patch!
I've seen a similar thing done in Debian for 3.8.

    Add ehci-pci to MODULES_USB, needed by 3.8 kernels, see bug #458606
    
    Thanks to Adrian.Bassett@hotmail.co.uk for reporting this.

FYI since we now have 3.8.13 stable, this is becoming a more serious problem.  It breaks liveusb boot as seen in bug #470878 but also breaks early usb input for  most 'genkernel all' users, preventing things like interactive rc, rescue shells, etc.  I'd love to see a new genkernel release soon! =)

Is there a tagged genkernel version that has this fix it in?  We need a stable request on this like a month ago....  Gentoo install disks don't have usb2 support, this isn't something we can wait on.

This is fixed in genkernel 3.4.46, which is now in the main tree.
