I just realized... Could it be because of CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD (USB3)? Should it be compiled as a module?
(In reply to Vieri from comment #1) > I just realized... Could it be because of CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD (USB3)? Should > it be compiled as a module? Yes, without that driver on your machine, no USB devices will work. It can be Y or M.
True. Sorry for the noise. Fixed.
