We know that 3-4 was the mass-storage device, but I can't tell from this log what 2-2 was. > As you can see there is a difference between the USB port detected > during the boot phase and after the unbind/bind: > > hub 1-0:1.0: 5 ports detected > hub 2-0:1.0: 3 ports detected > hub 3-0:1.0: 2 ports detected > hub 1-2:1.0: 4 ports detected > hub 2-2:1.0: 2 ports detected > > echo 0000:00:17.0 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ohci-pci/unbind > echo 0000:00:17.1 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ohci-pci/unbind > echo 0000:00:17.2 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci-pci/unbind > > echo 0000:00:17.0 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ohci-pci/bind > echo 0000:00:17.1 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ohci-pci/bind > echo 0000:00:17.2 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci-pci/bind > > hub 1-0:1.0: 3 ports detected > hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected > hub 3-0:1.0: 5 ports detected > hub 1-0:1.0: 3 ports detected > hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected > hub 3-2:1.0: 4 ports detected > hub 1-2:1.0: 2 ports detected > > This was kernel 3.10, but i get similar results for 3.14 Of course. This is because you rebound the drivers in a different order from the binding during boot. During boot, the EHCI controller (17.2) was assigned to bus 1, and the two OHCI controllers (17.0 and 17.2) were assigned to buses 2 and 3. But when you rebound the drivers, you did 17.0 and 17.1 first, so they were assigned to buses 1 and 2. Then 17.2 was assigned to bus 3. If you had bound 17.2 and then 17.0 and 17.1, you would have gotten the same results as during boot. I can't tell why the two devices failed to initialize. Can you plug either of them into an x86-based computer and see if it shows the same behavior there?
