USB (MS Intellimouse specifically) does not work with SMP kernel 2.2.18.[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
When trying to install a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (USB) to a SMP kernel, I get the following error multiple times:
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address (error=-110)
What's your BIOS setting for MSR?
And how about the contents of /proc/interrupts?
This is a case of when the usb code isn't getting the hardware interrupt delivered properly.
thanks,

what mobo/chipset are you using? i and a bunch of other people have been having very similar problems with this and the 2.4.0-test kernels. we all use the tyan tiger 133 mobo with the apollo pro 133a chipset. i believe that the 2.2.18 usb support has been pulled from the 2.4.0-test source, so i'm not surprised to be seeing this.
on the linux-usb list, i was talking with johannes erdfel and doing some checks for him. he thinks that it's a pci irq problem as the usb controller (uhci and usb-uhci) don't get any interrupts on smp-enabled kernels when apic is enabled. i've written martin mares about this (but to the email address listed on his web page -- not [email protected], yet -- so it probably got dropped into /dev/null) and i'm eager to hear his opinion on matters. i'll bet that now that the problem has moved into the 2.2 line, we'll be seeing more noise about it.
laramie, try disabling apic at the lilo prompt (add "noapic" after your kernel image's name) and see if that helps.
