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.
Typically on older machines,
* which don't have USB.
* on which USB is too uneffective to be useful (e.g. only have USB-1.x)
* on which USB is not supposed to be used.
Maybe
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?
