Hi Alan, I'm sending a "Reply to all" on this mail. Should I continue to keep Mathias and Bjorn on copy and cross-posting to linux-pci@ (I'm not yet subscribed there, so that post probably won't get through anyway)? > [Roland, what happens if you try unbinding xhci-hcd before ehci-hcd? > Note that unbinding xhci-hcd will cause your wireless keyboard & mouse > to stop working, so you'll have to use a shell script or a network > login to run the test.] The outcome is the same, the system freezes on the readl. See below for the transcript from a screen photo. > I say this may be relevant because Roland found that ehci-hcd was > unable to communicate over the USB bus if it tried to do so before > xhci-hcd was probed.

I can also produce the freeze on 3.17, with some extra steps: (after boot there's just the ehci-pci bus with no device) - unbind ehci-pci - bind ehci-pci (now the ehci-pci bus has the missing device) - unbind ehci-pci So the only reason why the older kernels didn't freeze is that the device in question couldn't be initialized with the original probe sequence. I'll try your blacklisting tip over the weekend.
