Hi, Everyone:
Kernel upstream again had some build issues related to the "nousb" parameter (it's being switched to core_param() API now). This got me wondering if it's still useful now that we have kernels unified for installation and normal work. It was introduced initially to work around the issues with the crippled i386 kernel. So, the question: does anyone still use "nousb"? If yes, please let me know.
Yes, I am.
And me - on boxes with buggy BIOS SMM.
I can just fix something in ACPI table parsing for you. My goal is to drop "nousb" in Fedora 11.
<sigh/> another nail in Fedora's coffin on low end platforms?
And some high end ones where you need a BIOS upgrade and it isn't ACPI failures.
My low end ones are all fine with USB ;)
