> Apart from this making no sense (and it's not "USB mice" being fixed,
but a very specific interrupt non-routing causing an interrupt overlap
with a USB controller and therefore the ports routed to it not working):
What "a few users" are you talking about? Please redirect them onto this
bug tracker and make sure that such problems get logged in new tickets! I
am not aware of any such problems, so I really need to have those reports.
Thanks.
First, I'm sorry. I didn't want to jump to conclusions - I've already
mentioned that I thought it was very unlikely that the problem was related
to recent IO-APIC changes. And you are right, of course, ticket #7520
isn't about a non-working usb mouse, I only referred to it this way
because the initial reporter named the ticket "USB mouse can't work when
IO-APIC is enabled". I'll try to be more precise the next time. The
problems a few users seemed to experience are either reported on bug
tracker and have already been taken care of or have resolved for one
reason or another. So, nothing to worry about in this regard.
But back to the initialization problem: I now think it's in no way related
to computer hardware (and especially usb controllers) - I've experienced
the reported problem only with one usb storage device (out of 15), an usb
stick that was pre-formatted in an unusual way. All standard fat32 disks
(no matter if formatted by linux or windows) show a partition structure
(e.g. /dev/disk/usb/0/0/0, linux style: /dev/sda1) and can be initialized
by the latest alpha3 rc when the entire disk (/dev/disk/usb/0/0/raw,
linux: /dev/sda) is chosen. The one odd usb stick shows a structure like a
bfs disk without seperate partitions (only /dev/disk/usb/0/0/raw) and
can't be initialized.
