Hi there,

I've got a problem on my hands with the use of my USB Memory sticks in
slackware 9.1

I am pretty sure they work in 9.0 (used them at work yesterday AND had
9.0 on this box before), but in 9.1 I am getting syslog messages like
these:

Oct 25 18:02:24 bilbo kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
Oct 25 18:02:24 bilbo kernel: usb-ohci.c: unlink URB timeout
Oct 25 18:02:24 bilbo kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new
address=4 (error=-110)
Oct 25 18:02:29 bilbo kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
Oct 25 18:02:29 bilbo kernel: usb-ohci.c: unlink URB timeout
Oct 25 18:02:29 bilbo kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new
address=5 (error=-110)

Googled on this offcourse but did not realy understood what I found.
What I found sugests that it is a BIOS problem. Something about the IRQ
not being properly assigned.
But why did they work when I had 9.0 installed?

These are the modules I have got loaded

root@bilbo:/proc/scsi# lsmod |grep usb
usb-ohci 19016 0 (unused)
usb-storage 69472 0 (unused)
usbcore 62016 1 [usb-ohci usb-storage]

The usb-storage was loaded by me because it seemed logical - to me -
that is is needed.

Saw some talk about booting problems from USB media here on aols. What I
picked up from it sugests that the - proper - USB support is lacking
from bare.i.
So I had a look at the kernel config for bare.i but could not see
anything in the USB section that atracted my attention as being wrong.

PS
Come to think of it.... it is not just the USB sticks.... I have got a
digital camera (Nikon) which I could acces as a storage device on 9.0
which too does not work any more.
