Re: USB3.0 XHCI support on GRUB2

[Gailu Singh]

Hi Bjørn,

This is to confirm you that xhci worked fine on my board with pen drive though still my usb keyboard is not working but that is not so critical and will look in to that later. It was the problem at my end while including the module in my elf image. 

Thanks for your great effort on this.

Need some input on naming convention though. when I run ls command I find that usb pen drive pluged in to same port is sometime listed as usb1, on next reboot usb7, sometime usb5 and so on. Is there a way to fix that usb plugged in to same port is always listed as same on every power recycle.

in grub menu if I specify (usb1) next time menu does not work automatically and I need to edit it on nearly every power cycle, occasionally it is listed with same name as in last power cycle.

Thank you once again for taking initiative on this feature.

There seems to be two controller with vendor and device id as follows

Just for reference, what is the PCI product and device ID of that
controller? If you get to the grub shell, type "xhci" to view it.
