by I've had USB support for my Logitech Optical Mouse for some time now, but
twice now (three times, including my current situation) it's just totally
died. My system hangs completely durring bootup when it gets to my
"modprobe usb-ohci" line in my /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file. The last two
times, I've booted around it with a disk, recompiled the kernel and modules
the exact same way they already are, and that fixes it! But this time, it's
totally broken - I was using 2.4.10 (this "bug"? has happened to me through
the last several versions, up from about 2.4.5 I think) and recompiling
didn't fix it. I upgraded to 2.4.12 and it still won't work - the system
totally hangs when I try to install the usb-ohci module. The first time
this happened, I had USB support compiled right into the kernel and it
suddenly wouldn't boot that kernel, but a recompile fixed that. Since
around 2.4.9 I've been running it as a module, and this is the first time
it's happened.
I haven't tried to install it into the kernel yet, so I'm going to reboot
(I'm posting from my win98 partition, where USB is working fine) and give
that a try... It could fix it, but it shouldn't have broken in the first
place!
Has anybody experienced any problems with this module, or have any knowledge
on how to fix it?
I'm duel-booting Slackware 8.0 and win98 on an Acer Travelmate 521TE Laptop
BTW. I'm using A Logitech wheel-mouse Optical (just the cheep, two button
simple one). I've also got my input-core, input-core->mouse and usb-hid
support as modules, though in earlier kernel versions they were all compiled
into the kernel and I experienced the same problem.
