Re: [PATCH] usb/core/hcd.c - avoid khubd hang on HC surprise removal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Stratus Technologies of Maynard Massachusetts (www.stratus.com)
manufactures fault tolerant servers.  The current Stratus products use
Nehalem CPUs and the servers are supported with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, VMware ESX, Windows and VOS.

I have no access to servers with OHCI.  In my testing, although both
EHCI and UHCI are present in the ICH10, the problem always was
associated with the UHCI controller.
