No, I'm saying that the usb ports on the motherboard seems dead in my now brand new Gentoo install... I did redo the usb stick but it refuses to boot (on both computers); it just hangs after the Gentoo boot screen (where you can choose what to boot). When I first booted the Gentoo live usb I didn't have any problems with usb (that I noticed)... Now, I've created a live cd (i.e. burnt a dvd-image since the "cd" is really dvd-size) and booted with that but I get the same kernel output (i.e.: usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 usb 2-3: device descriptor read/64, error -32 - same messages goes for ohci and there's a message saying it's "unable to enumerate USB device on port n" - where n is 1,2...10 [ten usb ports in the rear]). > If two machines won't boot from your live install usb stick then there > must be something wrong with it, no? Yes, I've concluded that as well. But I seem to be able to write and read from the stick without problems (firmware problems maybe?)... Very strange. > The point is to boot the live cd (usb stick) and make a list of all the > drivers the kernel is using when the hardware is working correctly, and > then build your own kernel using the same drivers. Yes, I'm well aware of what hardware drivers I need. I'm just a bit confused of where I should look next; if it's a hardware problem (i.e. the usb ports are really dead) then how come they work in the UEFI bios screen (i.e. I can use my mouse to navigate)? Is is a configuration problem in the kernel config (conflicting configuration)? Anyway, thanks for replying! Best regards Peter K
