Mageia forum

Hi,
I fiddled with this distro for a few hours and finally settled on a KDE setup. Weirdly, though, 2 of my 4 USB ports die about a minute after logging in. I've dealt with numerous Linux problems before, but this has never happened before with 5-6 other distros I've tried and used before.

dmesg gives me some errors. During normal operation (before the ports die), everything seems normal:

(The Kingston flash drive is connected to the problematic USB port)

But something seems to go wrong here:

I did some googling but couldn't find a permanent solution. Reloading the module ehci_hcd re-enables the ports, but they die out the same way. Any help would be appreciated. I can post additional outputs on request.

Just a bump, and for additional info, I have a Lenovo Z575. Seriously, this is bugging me out as I can't use devices at USB 2.0 speed. Is there a problem with the kernel?

Maybe the usb 2.0 device is attached to a port which is internally connected to the same port where you plugged the (low speed per your output) mouse?
As in that case, often both devices can only be used at the lowest speed which both devices support.

Otherwise the Kingston flash drive should be checked, seems to have some errors or filesystem problems.
And FWIW, usb 2.0 is working just fine here, so no, the kernel has no problem in general.

What I mean to say is that ANY USB device plugged into one of those ports causes the power supply to cut powering the 2 ports. Thus, I can't even charge devices on those ports. I can reload ehci_hcd, but then it repeats itself. It seems that I am unable to use any of the 2.0 features, either, as my remaining ports, which are 2.0, are recognized as being USB 1.1 and are handled by ohci_hcd. I tried an openSUSE RC2 for the 3.4.6 kernel, but it also seems to do the same thing, except ehci_hcd itself seems to be more stable. I'll try a fresh DVD install and see what happens.
