Hey,

On my debian Dual 550MHz Pentium III machine, I am unable to get usb working. I didn't notice anything obvious in the bios that would disable USB. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried several kernels, most recently 2.6.10 and 2.6.11.5. I have also tried booting with variations of

append="noapic acpi=off pci=biosirq"

Upon loading uhci_hcd module I see the following

$ dmesg

is the age of the Bios is less then 2001 ? probably is , if so, you should append "acpi=force" to enable ACPI.
On some Bios configurations, you also have to enable ACPI and disable APM ( on Bios configuration )
