While im at it, I'm running red hat 8.0, but have had problems getting USB
to work.

got the module USBCORE up, but when I try and insert the UHCI Module (Yes
the controller is UHCI it's an intel one and I checked using lspci)

I get the following:-

[root@localhost root]# insmod uhci
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/usb/uhci.o
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/usb/uhci.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
[root@localhost root]#


Then looked in the /var/log/messages and this was the output:-

Jan 28 15:51:12 localhost kernel: uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller
Interface driver v1.1
Jan 28 15:51:12 localhost kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin D of
device 00:07.2. Please try using pci=biosirq.
Jan 28 15:51:12 localhost kernel: uhci.c: found UHCI device with no IRQ
assigned. check BIOS settings!

the reason seems to be that when I do an lspci, it turns out the it's not
assigning an IRQ to the usb controller!!!

Anyone know how to fix this???
