Kernel compilation question

[Lockheed]

I am trying to compile a kernel for my R61 with C2D and Quadro 140, but there is one option I do not know how to set. It is
USB Peripheral Controller.

There is 8 options and none tells me anything.

Any clues?

If I might ask, is there a particular reason that you're compiling your own kernel?

Also, why not just base your config off of your distro's defaults?

[Lockheed]

Because 2.6.38 breaks ability to shut down by itself and I cannot get default config anywhere.
Anyway, I have already compiled a working kernel with the modules I need.

[ThinkRob]

If you're using a Debian-based distro, the distro's kernel configs should be in /boot.

That aside, 2.6.38 definitely does *not* display that regression on any of the *60-series machines I have at my disposal. Sounds like a user configuration issue to me.

As far as your original question, where is the option that you're referring to (i.e. what's the full path to it?)

[Lockheed]

Can't remember. It is somewhere in USB controller setup.

The issue I mentioned is definitely a 2.6.38 bug. There is many reports on it causing the computer to freeze just before it reboots/shuts down. 2.6.37 with the same config works like a dream.

I can't reproduce any freeze before reboot/shutdown on debian squeeze / wheezy (testing) / sid (unstable) with 2.6.38.6. I can, however, reproduce other bugs that were introduced in .38 and are fixed in .39, so I'm currently waiting on .37 as well

Right... well... I'm afraid I can't really explain what the feature you're referring to is if I don't know what it is that you're referring to.

The issue I mentioned is definitely a 2.6.38 bug. There is many reports on it causing the computer to freeze just before it reboots/shuts down. 2.6.37 with the same config works like a dream.

Interesting. Got a link to or number for the bug(s) in question? I'm interested to see if I can reproduce this on any of my machines.
