I've booted into the patched kernel and set the logging level, including .../dynamic_debug/control. I've verified that I get log output by attaching and detaching an USB device; that gets logged. But when I call "lsusb -v", the only output is the ID of the device that's going to be probed. That's what I always get. The kernel freezes before the new log statements, or any others in hub.c, are executed. Later this week, I can enable logging with kernel boot parameters and send the output, if that might be of help. thanks and cheers, Roland -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
