[Bug 49367] EHCI Configuration Errors Cause USB Errors (Mouse, etc)

[Steve Beamer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-23-386

High speed usb bus resetting routinely on some hardware in kernel
2.6.15-23-386.  Device will not accept IRQ assigmnent (device not
accepting address 3, error -110)

I found the problem to be in the configuration of EHCI when I compared the new config file to the previous breezy config file (2.6.12-10-386)

The new config that worked for me to solve the problem is (vanilla 2.6.16.20 kernel):

#
# USB support

CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI=y
CONFIG_USB=m
# CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is not set
