no USB in Edgy <-- needed a custom kernel

I discovered where it goes wrong in Edgy: the kernel! This is the problem:

The Edgy stock kernel doesn't let me use usb. The 'lsusb' command crashes or gives an empty list:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000&nbsp;
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

This also happens with a live cd. I knew it worked in Dapper, so I took a Dapper i386 kernel from a live cd and put it in my /boot. I edited my /boot/grub/menu.lst to load the Dapper kernel for my edgy system. Now all usb devices DO WORK in Edgy!!!! Of course there were other problems, but this certainly shows that the Edgy stock kernel isn't perfect. I am kind of surprised no one else encountered this problem. Anyways, should I file this as a bug, and if so: where? And what can I do to let my Edgy system use a correct kernel that does work with my system? TIA!

Is there no-one that doesn't have any problems with usb on edgy? I do not have an unusual configuration. My mainboard is a msi RS480-IL (socket 939). Weird, because my Dapper is still working like a charm, but it is annoying to have to revert to it just for printing.

Hi everyone,

I have a strange problem in Edgy. I still have a working dapper installed, but my edgy install doesn't recognize my usb devices like a printer, joystick or iPod. In dapper lsusb gives for example:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:3011 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000&nbsp;
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 044f:b304 ThrustMaster, Inc. Firestorm Dual Power
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000


but in Edgy I only get:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000&nbsp;
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I have gotten my printer to work once in Edgy, but I haven't been able to reproduce it. Hope someone knows what it could be... ;  Cheers,

Rutger
