USB mouse not work in 188

[Barry Landy]

Using version 188 I get repeated short beeps during and after the boot sequence; the mouse does not work and eventually the system freezes.

The system is a desktop; Mboard intel DH67BL; mouse and keyboard are PS2 connected via an adapter to a USB port.

Works fine in version 186 to which I have reverted. I also tried the "david" version of 187; this gave just 3 beeps but the mouse still did not work.

Both versions work fine on my T61.

(I Only tried once and will try again and report here if it was a transient)

I would guess it is the same problem as #40 and #39.....

[Barry Landy]

.. and #36 etc

second try: only 3 beedps ( :-) ) but still no mouse.

#39 suggests a problem in usbd.sys whereas #35, #36, and I think #40 show something in usbehcd.sys. I would start with replacing usbehcd.sys from the last working version while leaving everything else in place to verify.

[Barry Landy]

Confirmed!

With usbehcd.sys from 186 and the other three from 188 the mouse works fine.

Meanwhile, with that mixed 186/188 system, I had repeated problems trying to write a lot of zip files from HDD to a JFS formatted memory stick (the same process as I had described in earlier tickets on my T61).

This time it is on the desktop; symptoms are that the writing process stops abruptly with the entire system frozen and the USB monitor widget saying (incorrectly) that there had been an incorrect removal.

restoring all 4 files to version 186 removes the problem.

[Barry Landy]

Today, still running 186 (all 4 files) I had the same JFS writing crash as mentioned above.

[Barry Landy]

Crashes still happen occasionally (no surprise as running same version). However a new effect today; after the crash (as described above) system did a forced reboot (quite convenient but unexpected!)

[Barry Landy]

If it helps: I have realised that the write to JFS formatted memory stick process is more likely to complete if nothing else is happening (presumably no surprise). The only thing I had running other than normal background in the most recent crashes was Google Calendar in Firefox; without that it seems more likely to complete the write without a crash.

10.188: outdated version, follow up ticket exists for the JFS problem

Mouse OK in 189
