[gentoo-user] Kernel-3.4.4 No USB Keyboard

[Frank Peters]

Is anyone having problems with the latest kernel-3.4.4?

After configuring with the same .config file that I used for 3.4.0,
the new 3.4.4 kernel boots but it cannot read the USB keyboard.
Presumably the USB mouse is also affected.

Here are, I believe, the relevant lines from the kernel log for 
the working 3.4.0:

usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd
hub 1-1:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-1:1.0: 6 ports detected
usb 1-1.1: new low-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
input: Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1:1.0/input/input0
generic-usb 0003:045E:000B.0001: input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input0
usb 1-1.3: new low-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd


For comparison, the corresponding lines from the 3.4.4 log are:

usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 4, error -110
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 5, error -110


As I mentioned, the configuration has not changed since 3.4.0.
Unless I am missing some new parameter somewhere the kernel-3.4.4
must be broken.

The only related report that I could find is here:

Can anyone confirm or refute this?
