Kurt this is precisely the same problem exhibited by my board. It looks like there is another report of the same problem from another user as well. Although you seem mostly concerned with the problems surrounding the USB hub, there are equally unhappy problems with the Ethernet adapter. Like I said it looks to me like either improperly compiled symbols or the firmware is setting up the peripherals differently that it does on the boards where the load works properly.
Since the load apparently works on some boards, I think we could rule out improperly compiled driver modules. So could it be firmware? I've programmed embedded controllers since the 80186 and if you set the peripherals up differently in your boot code, then you can expect things to fail ugly later on. It sure smells that way to me.
Does anyone know how to query the firmware version from a bash prompt or some such? StuartAndersonIntel could you tell us what variants of the firmware/board you've tested the load against? We could really use some guidance here.
Thx,
Dallas
