To make the story short I bought a new laptop, I tried to install with the latest installer but failed for several (already reported) reasons and I was forced to use the Alpha installer. FWIW I used the kde live installer (although this should be irrelevant in what follows). The first time I have updated the kernel I got no usb devices working, the same happened with all the kernels released in the last week. The error messages are: Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: nommu_map_single: overflow 13329b2d0+8 of device mask ffffffff Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: nommu_map_single: overflow 1332025d8+64 of device mask ffffffff Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: WARNING: at lib/dma-debug.c:787 check_unmap+0x99/0x5d6() (Tainted: G W ) Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: Hardware name: HP EliteBook 8530p Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: DMA-API: device driver tries to free an invalid DMA memory address Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: Modules linked in: Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G W 2.6.31.1-48.fc12.x86_64 #1 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: Call Trace: Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8106422c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x95/0xc3 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810642e7>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x50/0x66 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff8128dae8>] check_unmap+0x99/0x5d6 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81096d2e>] ? check_irq_usage+0xc0/0xe9 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff8128e257>] debug_dma_unmap_page+0x66/0x7c Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813b2088>] dma_unmap_single_attrs.clone.0+0x82/0xa1 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813b210a>] unmap_urb_for_dma+0x63/0x114 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813b222c>] usb_hcd_giveback_urb+0x71/0xea Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813c874b>] ehci_urb_done+0x8a/0xb1 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813cacbd>] qh_completions+0x37f/0x50e Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813caef6>] ehci_work+0xaa/0x777 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813cce0c>] ? ehci_irq+0x41/0x441 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813cce0c>] ? ehci_irq+0x41/0x441 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813cd0a3>] ehci_irq+0x2d8/0x441 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810cab9f>] ? handle_fasteoi_irq+0x35/0xf9 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813b1a0f>] usb_hcd_irq+0x59/0xcc Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810c8764>] handle_IRQ_event+0x62/0x148 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810cac0d>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xa3/0xf9 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81015030>] handle_irq+0x9a/0xba Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81505e45>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_thunk+0x3a/0x3c Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810143bd>] do_IRQ+0x6f/0xe5 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810129d3>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0x16 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: <EOI> [<ffffffff812ff3d1>] ? acpi_idle_enter_simple+0x132/0x17a Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff812ff3ca>] ? acpi_idle_enter_simple+0x12b/0x17a Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81418900>] ? cpuidle_idle_call+0xa0/0xec Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81010e8b>] ? cpu_idle+0xbf/0x10a Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff814fe2d2>] ? start_secondary+0x211/0x268 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: ---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a727 ]--- And like this from today: Oct 1 12:25:33 localhost kernel: WARNING: at drivers/pci/dmar.c:183 dmar_table_init+0x173/0x3d7() (Not tainted) Oct 1 12:25:33 localhost kernel: Hardware name: HP EliteBook 8530p Oct 1 12:25:33 localhost kernel: Your BIOS is broken; DMAR reported at address zero!
