__NOTOC__
=== What is Gentoo? ===
Gentoo is a relative young linux distribution with an innovative approach.
Trying to describe the big difference in one sentence, its heart is a system called Portage, which implements a way of automatically building software from source, hence giving you maximum configurability and optimization while still not requiring you to do the manual compile steps.

One could say that Gentoo is the symbioses of some of the advantages of [[:Category:LFS | LFS]] and binary packaged distributions.

Problem with USB 2.0

2005-04-21T19:14:13Z

169.229.142.187:

==Problem description==
On various (early?) T40 models, USB 2.0 may not function. Symptoms include inability to connect to USB 2.0 devices at USB 2.0 speeds, the "This device can perform faster" pop-up in Windows XP, device ID assignment error messages from the Linux kernel, and frequent reboots of the USB bus and connected devices.

==Solutions==
This seems to be a hardware problem with the USB controller on Intel's chip or related electronics. Sending the laptop in for service may help.

If the Linux kernel refuses to register the USB device, "modprobe -r ehci_hcd" may help. This disables USB 2.0 functionality for the session.
