Hi Alan, > was added recently; a table of devices that ehci-pci should ignore. If > you add your device to that list, ehci-pci won't bind to it.

With the patch below applied to kernel 4.2, the EHCI bus that causes my problems is gone. The system shuts down without freeze. It's a relief to know that I'll be able to install a reliable system on this machine. Never mind building a kernel... I've got ample experience now :-) Now let's hope that we can find a fix for the actual problem, so I can switch back to precompiled kernels some time next year. thanks and cheers, Roland diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-pci.c b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-pci.c index 2a5d2fd..05f4f76 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-pci.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-pci.c @@ -52,6 +52,8 @@ static const struct pci_device_id bypass_pci_id_table[] = { { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x0811), }, { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x0829), }, { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0xe006), }, + /* EHCI on Acer ES1-111M */ + { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x0f34), }, {} }; -- 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
