Plop/USB 2.0 Host HELP

fritual · August 13, 2013, 00:40:00 AM

Re: Plop; VT6202 4 port PCI host controller, hp Pavilion 6465 Desktop & win98se OS

Hi,

Plop freezes while attempting to boot thumb drive w/referenced setup.

Windows 98se has NO problem accessing the thumb drive attached to one of the four USB 2.0 ports.

http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/peripherals/usb/vt6202/

Q: Is there a way to get Plop functional, instead of freezing, trying to boot the USB device?

Kind Regards,
fritual

Hi,

VT6202 driver references for windows 98se:

http://www.viaarena.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10776&highlight=vt6202+windows+98se

Is Plop Boot Manager compatible with this VT6202 USB 2.0 PCI host device on any operating system?

Hi,

Both EHCI and UHCI USB Controllers were found on my hp Pavilion 6465 Desktop, using the diagnostic tools found in this book:

Question: Any clues in this post why Plop Boot Manager freezes instantly after selecting its USB boot menu, requiring a complete power-down to recover?

hello,

when the boot manager freezes, then you can try to force to boot in usb 1.1 mode.

use shift-u in the main menu to force usb 1.1 and see setup/bootmanager for 2 usb 1.1 modes.

when you want to boot linux from usb then use plopkexec.

Re: Plpbt-5.0.15-test.zip
Dear elmar:

VT602 is USB 2.0 compatible, which has 1 internal and 4 external USB 2.0 ports.

Q: Why force USB 1.1 on the VT6202 PCI card?
A 500 MHz Celeron processor should handle USB 2.0
thru-put with ease.

I can see this arrangement, you suggest, only on the 2 USB 1.1 on-board OEM ports.

My goal is to boot a LiveUSB distro, that's written on an 8 GB thumb drive, which the BIOS doesn't support. Therefore, I gather from your post that 'plopkexec' must be used, which I'm not familiar with.

Q: Is 'plopkexec' on your Plop Linux distro?

All I have used is 'plpbt.img', booting Plop Boot Manager from floppy.

Thanks for replying!

usb 1.1 is just an alternative when my driver hangs with usb 2.0. but usb 1.1 doesn't mean that booting works. as i said in other posts, my driver is because of the small size not perfect. it works mostly but not everywhere.

see here http://www.plop.at/en/plopkexec.html
use the floppy image plopkexec.img

Dear elmar:

The problem dissappeared, once the usb 1.1 tip of yours was implemented on the VT6202, THX!

Your clever, VERY conservative approach to Plop Boot Manager is appreciated.

Best Wishes,
