I recently got a new motherboard and now I have trouble with USB. I had no problems with my two USB drives before, but now a) I can't boot with my external USB hard drive connected and powered on, and b) moving files onto my Creative MP3 player causes that file system to hang. This second problem seems to be the same as was mentioned here on 5 May, at <http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?iiuui3-q31.ln1> The new motherboard is an ASUS P5S800-VM and the BIOS is right up to date. It comes with USB 2.0 built in. I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE, and built a new world on 6 May, after I got this new mobo home. A healthy dmesg is at the bottom of this message. I saw some talk on mailing lists about ACPI being related to this kind of thing, so I tried booting without it (with "unset acpi_load" at the boot prompt) and it panicked, which wasn't helpful. a) Timeouts and failures when booting with external USB hard drive plugged in and turned on. I have a Maxtor drive in an external USB 2.0 enclosure. When it's connected and turned on, I cannot boot. The different bits from dmesg look like this: [same stuff as usual up to this point; see below] uhub3: 8 ports with 8 removable, self powered [ten-second or so delay, which I don't see on a normal boot] atapci1: <SiS 181 SATA150 controller> port 0xeff0-0xeff7,0xefe4-0xefe7,0xefa8-0xefaf,0xefe0-0xefe3,0xef90-0xef9f,0xe480-0xe4ff irq 17 at device 5.0 on pci0 [continues as normal until ...] ad0: 39205MB <Maxtor 6E040L0 NAR61HA0> at ata0-master UDMA133 ad1: 19092MB <WDC WD200BB-00CAA0 16.06V16> at ata0-slave UDMA100 acd0: CDRW <HL-DT-ST GCE-8526B/1.03> at ata1-master UDMA33 pcm0: ac97 link rate calibration timed out after 1952041 us ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0 ad0: TIMEOUT - FAILURE [something] ad1: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 ad1: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0 ad1: TIMEOUT - FAILUER [someting] [repeats two more times] acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left) [acd0 TIMEOUTs and FAILURES repeated many times] I usually don't see that pcm0 warning. Finally after lots of errors I have to power cycle it. I can boot with the USB hard drive turned off, and then turn it on and mount it normally, in which case I see: umass0: vendor 0x04b4 USB Mass Storage Device, rev 2.00/2.40, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <Maxtor 6 L160P0 0000> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 156334MB (320173056 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 19929C) I have no trouble moving files on or off the drive after that, so it's annoying that I have to worry about it when I boot, but it's still usable. b) USB Creative Muvo TX FM hangs: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT I have an MP3 player that has a 1 GB flash drive, and it is no longer usable on this box. Here's what it is: umass0: CREATIVE MuVo TX FM, rev 2.00/11.91, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <CREATIVE MuVo TX FM 1191> Removable Direct Access SCSI-4 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 993MB (2035456 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 993C) When I mount the file and moves some files onto it, after a couple of files, it stops and hangs. I can't access the file system any more, and get these errors: umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, TIMEOUT umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, IOERROR umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, IOERROR That continues on and I have to reboot, at which point I see scores of errors like this: g_vfs_done():da0[WRITE(offset=995237848, length=4096)]error = 5 Then I get more BBB reset failed messages, and I have to power cycle. As I said, I used to be able to use this just fine with my old mobo, and my other FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE box can handle it without trouble.
