On powermacs or powerbooks, the USB controller is shut down by the firmware when we call the "quiesce" OF call from prom_init.c, which happens before the kernel relocates itself to 0 and takes over memory. Unless we fucked up something in there, I wouldn't expect that to be the cause. > If there is some USB controller that we miss, or that sets up its command > chain to some unexpected area (so that USB is active and corrupting memory > even very early on), that could explain it. Did we setup the OHCI controller when the crash happen ? Maybe we broke something subtle in the USB stack ?
