From your dmesg excerpt it seems that you have at least
three USB controllers in that machine. Depending on your
requirements, it might make sense to disable all of them
_except_ one, and then connect your USB devices to that
one controller (using additional USB hubs if necessary).
Of course, the controller that you keep enabled should be
the one that's causing the least problems (which seems to
be uhci1 "USB-B" in your case, if I read your first email
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you tell me how to disable specific
controllers? Were you thinking BIOS? or FreeBSD? Can device.hints do
this? uhci man page is somewhat brief.
I'm not sure which of those controllers I might actually need and it
might be none of them. The USB requirement is because there is a DRAC
(remote console) card which simulates a USB keyboard/mouse and offhand
I'm not sure what they are connected to. But if I know how to turn
specific controllers off, I can just try and see if what I need still
works :-) (Probably studying the dmesg will give me some hints).
Thanks,
