Hello all.

I don't know if it helps people working on this stuff, but I just bought a brand new MSI 990FXA-GD65 and a Phenom II X6 with 12GB RAM.
I tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 (x86_64) and it can't find USB devices. I gives the well known errors ("unable to enumerate device", "device descriptor read/64", "error -32", etc.). I also tried 10.04 (x86_64) with no success.

I just tried booting from Ubuntu 9.04 (i386) as the CD was lying on my desk and, for my surprise, it just worked fine! I could use my mouse and also my two external drives (one sata and the other IDE, but both from seagate). I looked inside the /var/log/kern.log file and it reported that "ehci_hcd" was successfully loaded! NOT a single error!

I tried taking the same kernel (but 64 bit version) from Ubuntu repo and installing it on a Debian 5.0, but the errors and messages appear again.

Good luck to us all.
