FreeBSD 9.2 USB peripherals

umphy · Oct 2, 2013

Hi,

I just upgraded my system to FreeBSD 9.2 following the instructions in the Handbook, but my USB keyboard and mouse stopped working. They worked fine in 9.1. When I plug them in I get:

Code:

usb_alloc_device: device init 2 failed (USB_ERR_IOERROR, ignored)
ugen0.2: <Unknown> at usbus0 (disconnected)
uhub_reattach_port: could not allocate new device

I just checked with a USB thumbdrive and it has the same problem. Looks like it's a general USB issue.

Edit: looks like my problem is described in detail here: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/usb-181159-Problem-attaching-USB-device-td5835018.html. Does anyone know the progress on that issue?

Have a look at the PR: PR 181159

And have you tried updating to the full release? It came out a few days ago. It may have already been fixed.

Looking at that PR, the issue seems to be still open.

And yes, sorry I forgot to mention that my version is the 9.2-RELEASE.

Today I installed the new hardware (replaced motherboard from ASUS M2N-E to ASUS Z87-PRO, plus CPU and RAM). Now I'm experiencing the same issue. Mouse works in BIOS but when the FreeBSD boots up it simply gets powered off with the following error output:

Code:

I currently have 9.2RC3-p1, updating it to 9.2-RELEASE

hedgehog · Oct 3, 2013

There are patches already in SVN: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=255965

Don't know yet if they're work. Do you think I can grab these three changed files from HEAD, replace them in /usr/src/ and rebuild the kernel with that?

break19 · Oct 4, 2013

Odd.. I have both a USB mouse and a USB keyboard. Mine both work fine in FreeBSD 9.2. I do have issues at boot, but that is because I have Legacy USB disabled in the BIOS. If I need BIOS / Boot Loader access, I do have a PS/2 keyboard I could use.

Both of my USB peripherals work in both the console, and in Xorg.

I had no problems with that while using old Motherboard. What USB controller do you have? I think this is the issue only with Intel controllers and xhci drivers.

@umphy: could you try updating your BIOS and see if that's changes anything? I don't have physical access to my PC at the moment, but I'm trying to rebuild the kernel remotely.

hedgehog · Oct 4, 2013

OK, here is an update:

I downloaded patches for this particular revision: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=255965
Applied them
Rebuilt kernel and rebooted

Mouse works. However, dmesg still complains with the same errors:

But the mouse is recognized, powered up and it's working.

I have applied the patches to sources of my currently installed system, which is:

$ uname -srm
FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE amd64

I've seen BIOS/UEFI that had a setting for XHCI hand-off. Not really sure what it does but it might be something to try and turn it off or on.

My USB issue seems resolved with the patches, but I'll check if there is the mentioned option in my BIOS.

I've checked but unfortunately there are no BIOS updates for my laptop. It is a BIOS with UEFI, but I have it disabled at the moment. Also there doesn't seem to be an XHCI option in my BIOS.

I'm not familiar with building the kernel myself, so I think most likely I'll wait til an update is available via freebsd-update.

The problem is that most likely it won't be there untill next minor release, like 9.3-RELEASE. If I'm not mistaken, there are only security fixes available between minor release versions.

Actually, building kernel is not that hard. Anyway, I could send you patched kernel which can be placed under directory, for instance, /boot/usb-test , then you could load it by escaping to boot loader's prompt and selecting the kernel to load, the more details can be found here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-trouble.html

However, booting kernel downloaded from the person you don't know is a security risk

This will only work if your system's arch is amd64.

Thanks for the encouragement @hedgehog. In the end I did checkout HEAD via svn, updated /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/ to the said revision, rebuilt the kernel using the GENERIC configuration, and it's working now

Awesome, glad it helped. I've sent a note that it works in response to PR 181159, hope that will help the developers to gather more test data.

s_gammons · Nov 15, 2013

I'm having USB problems with 10.0-BETA3 #0 r257580. I get a fatal error, failed to attach to device. The chipset is an Intel ICH6 which works with 9.1-RELEASE but has been broken from 9.2 and later.

Is there a fix for this now?
