Hi, my USB keyyboard with an integrated mouse stopped working since 2.6.12 gentoo r4. r4 was the last woking kernel. dmesg appended. Johnnny

Please post "emerge info" output to every bug that you file. When you say 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 worked, does that mean you tried -r5 and -r6 and -r7 and every single one after -r4 failed? (Or did you jump from -r4 to -r7?) Are you using the same .config file from both kernels? Is it the mouse or the keyboard that doesn't work, or both? Does rebooting into -r4 definately make the keyboard/mouse work again?

The integrated mouse insdide the keyboard doesn't work. The keyboard works. Mice doesn't work generally. I think, the problem is related to USB hubs. > Does rebooting into -r4 definately make the keyboard/mouse work again? yes

OK - please try 2.6.12-r5, so that we can deduce which exact version the problem was introduced in. You can get the ebuild here: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r5.ebuild You might need to manually put these in /usr/portage/distfiles : http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/tarballs/genpatches-2.6.12-8.base.tar.bz2 http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/tarballs/genpatches-2.6.12-8.extras.tar.bz2 Thanks.
r5 works fine
Great - that narrows it down a lot. Please apply this patch to the 2.6.12-r5 sources: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/trunk/2.6.12/2700_irqpoll.patch i.e. # cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r5 # patch -p1 -i /path/to/patch Then recompile, mount /boot, copy over new image, reboot, etc. See if the keyboard/mouse still works at that stage.
works Thank you for your quick responses
Ok, theres only one change remaining. Please download and unpack the following file into your home directory: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/tarballs/genpatches-2.6.12-9.base.tar.bz2 Then revert 3 patches from -r5 from that tarball : # cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r5 # patch -p1 -R -i /path/to/1905_netfilter-conntrack.patch # patch -p1 -R -i /path/to/1900_acpi-irq-0.patch # patch -p1 -R -i /path/to/1305_ppc-ntp.patch Then apply this patch: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/trunk/2.6.12/1003_linux-2.6.12.3.patch # cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r5 # patch -p1 -i /path/to/1003_linux-2.6.12.3.patch Now recompile kernel, mount /boot, copy over, etc, reboot, and see if the mouse/keyboard works. I'm suspecting it won't but we should confirm this. Thanks :)

Odd. You can find them in /usr/portage/distfiles/genpatches-2.6.12-8.base.tar.bz2
Arrgh. I didn't boot the correct kernel. Now I booted the correct r5 kernel, and it stopped working. I mean the kernel created in #10 I'm trying #8 now.
#8 doesn't work
2.6.13 rc6 doesn't work, too. So I think this is upstream
After some discussion on IRC and the testing above it seems definate that the irqpoll patch is causing this breakage. If it's not too much trouble, could you please attach dmesg output from 2.6.13-rc6? Thanks.
Oh - also, you could try booting 2.6.13_rc6 with the "irqfixup" parameter (i.e. put it in the bootloader config where you'd normally put the real_root= args, etc). If that doesn't help, try replacing "irqfixup" with "irqpoll".
irqfixup same behaviour as without: the mouse doesn't work, but the usb keyboard works iqrpoll kernel boots, inside the initrd, itt says, hda error (looks like a dieing IDE disk), and then shortly after init, the kernel panics, something with IDE. the usb keyboard works with every kernel version (when the kernel doesn't panic ;-) )

Please run "make clean" in the 2.6.13_rc6 source directory. Switch to gcc 3.3.x (using gcc-config) and then recompile your kernel. Copy over the new image etc, and see if that helps.

Hi, I rebuild rc6 wit gcc 3.3.4. I tried iqrpoll , It boots, but crashed my root filesystem (ext3). It is seriously damaged. fscheck couldn't repair anything, but throw away nearly all kde libs and libc. So I'll try Ubuntu, or something else. I'm a bit annoyed of the quality of gentoo. I think gentoo is a real cool thing to test sources of packages, and do automated test builds. But production use? No way. Search my bug list. Sorry, but I spent 3/4 of my time using gentoo in tracking down bugs. I'm going to searn for my exams on 14. September. Perhaps I'll abuse a dual Opteron to build me a system just for fun - I like up to date distros, but don't expect that before 15. September. Johnny
Judging by the oops you sent me by email, I think you have a disk/memory hardware problem, I don't think that your filesystem problem is a Gentoo-specific bug. However I took a quick look at the other bugs reported by yourself -- seems you have had your fair share! But thanks for reporting them all, thats quite a contribution you've made... If you want to come back to this bug in future, please just reopen it. Good luck with your exams, and I hope you'll continue using Gentoo in some form and reporting problems :)
