I'm running 5.0-DP2 on a motherboard with the Apollo KT133A chipset. (I believe it's an ASUS, but it doesn't seem to be labelled.) The USB controller (described by dmesg as a VIA 83C572) periodically blows its brains out. More specifically, all USB devices lose power. The device nodes stay in /dev and there are no notices to dmesg about the loss until I unplug and replug them, at which time it says 'port error: restarting port N' where N is generally 0, depending on which controller it is. It then redetects my hardware. This also happened on 4.5 and above, so it might very well be a hardware problem on my end. Since I'm not getting any helpful error messages from my system, my question is this: what debugging switches, if any, should I turn on to see what's going on? Are there any known issues with this controller? Should I just sup to -current? Thanks! -Cliff L.
