Hello everyone,

i have a problem regarding my USB 2.0 controller. I want to switch from
linux to *BSD, but I need to get USB 2.0 running since I have a certain
amount of umass devices I need to use.

I have a compaq evo n800c notebook. When booting, FreeBSD tells me that
it found two ohci companion controllers, which is correct - but
everytime it gets to load the ehci driver it just hangs. No kernel panic
message or similar, just hanging. I tried to boot without acpi, but same
trouble.

I have no existing installation, since this is my productive machine,
I'm just trying to figure out if I can get it to work before actually
installing. As it fails to boot, this wouldn't be possible anyway.

I tried booting from the 6.1-bootonly image, same trouble on 6.0.

Does anyone have tips or hints for a n0b?

sebastian
