Description:

Linux MACHINENAME 3.7.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 15 04:14:33 EET 2013 i686 GNU/Linux

USB storage and other devices (flash disk, camera, etc.) are not recognized due to ehci_hcd module fail.
This failure seems to be started started with Linux 3.7.7 update (I don't know if 3.7.6 has the same problem) and 3.7.8 has the same problem. I know that there is no problem with actual USB hub or devices on my machine, since I have no usb connection or speed problem with the Windows installation on the same machine and more importantly, reverting linux package back to 3.7.5 fixes this error. Currently (on 3.7.8), only manually reloading (modprobe -r ehci_hcd) ehci_hcd works.

I've attached the complete boot log (username and machine name are changed to dummy names.).

Additional info:
* package version(s)

Linux 3.7.7.
Linux 3.7.8.

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Plugin any USB device and it is not recognized untill reloading of ehci_hcd.
   boot.log (74.5 KiB)
This task depends upon

On Linux 3.7.6 runs ok. At least for me.

Update to 3.7.9-1 didn't fix this problem either, so I can add Linux 3.7.9-1 to the list.

Please report to upstream, there is nothing to do here. Thanks.

The new Linux 3.7.9: bug still present.

Bug confirmed under 3.7.9-1 with two mkinitcpio versions, 0.12.0-2 and 0.13.0-1. Please employ boot USB sticks in general kernel releng, thanks Arch. Fallback: running old kernel 3.6.11-1 on USB stick no problems.

Confirmed under 3.7.9-1.

Is it possible that the report at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29526 is related to this?

Status on 3.8?
Comment by oblivion (oblivion) - Wednesday, 27 February 2013, 15:39 GMT
@tpowa: I've installed linux 3.8.0-2 from the [testing] repo, and unfortunately, nothing's changed. USB hotplug devices are still not recognized.

I'm booting from a CF (or SD) card reader, connected to onboard USB 2.0 pins.
After upgrading to 3.8 kernel and rebooting the device wasn't recognized any longer, thus no card and no LUKS key to be found.

My solution: use 'ehci-pci' instead of 'ehci-hcd' to MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf (self-built, no autodetection)

In linux-mainline (3.9rc1) this issue is fixed :) maybe also in 3.8.2, I have not checked.

Does this help?:

I see that as of linux 3.8.3-2, this issue seems to be fixed (on my machine).
Can anyone else confirm this?

Runs ok on my arch pendrive with linux 3.8.3-2
