The problem has been traced to a certain configuration parameter. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
In the "General setup" options for kernel .config file, there |
| 13 |
is an option called "Configure standard kernel features (expert users)." |
| 14 |
There is also an associated admonition: "Only use this if you really |
| 15 |
know what you are doing." |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Since the help descriptions for these options are fairly easy to understand |
| 18 |
I decided to manually set some of these options. For reasons that I |
| 19 |
can't understand this caused the USB problems. Setting this option |
| 20 |
to "No" fixed everything and now the kernel-3.4.4 works nicely. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
It would be beneficial if anyone who truly is an "expert" could comment |
| 23 |
on how setting these options could wreck the USB system. |
